Just finished this ,not a terrible kit but nothing to rave about either. The biggest complaint would be the gear bays and doors.Very poor fit and lack of positive location for the doors.Positive points ,decent fit minimal flash and ejector pin marks. I did scratch in a last minute landing light on the nose gear and decided to leave off the rockets and just have the bare rails. The variations in the black from the pre-tint/shade do'nt show well in the pics but it is there. Warts and all I'm actually pretty pleased with it, cheers Trey



























 
Nice one Trey!
I built the 'J' version from the same kit (most of the 'M' version parts are included), and, apart from the vague fit of the gear doors, found it a nice kit - certainly the best of the P-38 kits I've built in this scale over the years.
