These new resin set from Cutting
Edge Modelworks will permit you to upgrade the 1/32 Trumpeter P-38J/L to
the F-5A/F-5B/F-5C (P-38) Recce Nose version. For some recce variants you will also require the Cutting Edge Modelworks P-38F/G/H
Conversion for Trumpeter, depending on the basic airframe used for the recce
conversion). This set is designed for the Trumpeter kit and will not fit
the older Revel P-38 kit. If you're building the F-4A or F-5A varients,
you will have to convert the Trumpeter P-38J/L kit back to the P-38F/G/H
configuration using the Cutting Edge Conversions set CEC32156, P-38F/G/H
Airframe Conversion Set.

The parts have
carefully done detail and panel lines and the clear resin windows have to be seen
to be fully appreciated. Another small detail I REALLY appreciate on Cutting
Edge Modelworks set is the ultra thin flashing that needs to be cut from
the window openings.......this makes their sets very easy to work with.
Resin casting
is of a very high quality and all the detail is very well done with no air
bubbles.
This
new resin set from Cutting
Edge Modelworks will be a welcome set for those wishing to build their own Recce Nose
version of the P-38.
