Gorgeous shots, Bajora, yesterday someone called in to ask "What is 'Model Aviation'" and "Where can I get it" because they had read this thread and everyone's chatter about the P-38 being in a Model Aviation article. It goes to show that no matter how large or widespread we are, there are always new eyes and new pilots out there to win!

I like the detailing you added Alpha. This will be the first model in my inventory that I intend to put some extra effort into. With that said, this is my first pre-order. This waiting around for the arrival of a shipment is torment. I'm so excited for it to be delivered. My list of modifications, setups, and such is getting out of hand. February just can't end soon enough.

I am extremely fortunate to get my hands on a lot of models and I have to say, this one has me excited and anticipating my next outing with it every morning when I wake up! And FWIW, the photos I am sharing here are the ones that are not making the cut and not being submitted to the magazine. This P-38 looks fantastically real in the air! I love the look of that last photo too Aros... Looks all business, just like the real airplane.

FWIW, I believe non-subscribers CAN buy just one digital issue? If they are not an AMA member. Not sure about print though.

Nah, he's signing up for a full subscription once we told him what it was. He was so excited! We encounter new people every day stumbling upon the world of RC for the first time. It's a great feeling :)Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

Looks great, Bajora! Thanks for sharing something to tide us over. We're only about 5-6 weeks away and the first shipments are almost sold out so if you're on the fence, now's the time to decide! On the one hand I hoped we would have some units available when your Model Aviation article was published in ~4 weeks from now, which at this rate unless we're able to supplement with a quickfire secondary shipment shortly thereafter won't be the case, but on the other hand it is extremely encouraging to see the community's excitement for this P-38 and selling it out so quickly. I'm certain that once the first waves of customers receive theirs, we'll ramp up production to meet demand and keep them in stock so everyone who wants one can have one at this great price.
We hope that kind of excitement and early adoption encourages manufacturers to continue to invest in these larger aircraft projects.Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

Just too good to pass up on this one. (Patiently sitting in the corner waiving an Aussie flag) ;)
(- *That's a not too subtle hint not to forget your mates down under alpha, I know you are working on Aussie distribution already and this takes time - but it's going to kill me when people start getting theirs and posting flight reports though. Can't wait for this one, gotta have it. :)
Ps. Great pics bajora. Almost enough to make me rethink silver... Almost. ;) green revision looks good in these pics.
