Hey Ryan, very cool P-38 there! The shape is excellent and very accurate
for the Cylon Raider.
One suggestion would be a change of canopy. Although the one you used is
more P-38 like, take a look at this one. Might help to keep the shape of
Raider better. I just recently got this one and really like the look you
can achieve with it.

Great stuff!
