I can offer a pic of the pre-pro I saw after the Nurnberg toy fair.

This should be an indication of the real thing.

Thanks AA. You come thru again, I may just break down and order this one in a week or two. I have to pace myself, I have picked up 8 of the FM P-38's this month.
The boss is giving me that look from afar, you know the raised eye brow.

No problem BigMo,

It looked like a nice P-38 to me. I don't know wether the actual production model will be glossy painted or matte like the other P-38s. I think it will be a more matte paint job.

8? Whew! That's quite a number! I only have one P-38 so far. Well I stopped counting how many I got lately. But I guess everybody knows the "the brow".

I just got it. It is really nice. Flat paint scheme.
 

I can take umbrage, I can take the cake, I can take the A-Train, I can take two and call me in the morning, but I cannot take this sitting down. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take five.

Hey Mustang, pics of her please, of course when you get a chance, if possible.

Nice looking bird -- I have the Speccast version which ain't terrible but I may dump it for this one -- once all the dust clears from my current FM impulse purchases the last week or so
