This book contains detailed instructions on building the P-38 F/G Lightning 1/48 scale model aircraft from Tamiya (Kit 61120). This book provides a little history of the Lightning, a detailed list of tools that I used to build this model, along with a list of paints. The actual instruction section contains 661 steps and 140 plus figures over 152 pages that tell you what to dry fit, glue, and/or paint for each individual piece. Each instruction step has a block to mark that you completed the step. There are several pages of in-process photos with assembly tips and the final photos of my build for reference. This book is a great checklist to make your build go smoothly. Of course, you can feel free to use different tools, paint, weathering, etc. or even add your own diorama. I hope you find this book useful. See a multi-page sample along with photos of finished models and other books at glennhoovermodels.com.
