Lucky Model is taking preorders on the P 38 for $51 plus shipping.

Our old friend Ninetalis is currently living in Japan and has already got the kit. Here is his review.

Tamiya sold out in their shop P-38 pre-production kits but unfortunately only one per person... Otherwise I would asked him to buy one for myself as well..

Re: Tamiya P 38
Yes, thanks for the review link! Looking at the sprues and the engineering of the kit, it looks like that Tamiya can use many of the major parts to create a J/L version in the future.

Re: Tamiya P 38
I'd really like to get a couple of these. Hopefully they will do a 72nd too

Re: Tamiya P 38
A great review indeed. Hopefully Tamiya takes notice on some of the flaws particularly the tires to be correct for the type needed. Then again, there are AM tires out there I’m sure.

Re: Tamiya P 38
If tire tread type is the big issue here, that is certainly a “first world problem” for us. Worst case, get some True Details or other AM P-38 tires....BlackSheep214 wrote:A great review indeed.

Oh yeah, the aftermarket companies will be all over this.
