It would take me that long to realize I screwed up and needed a second kit.

It is. According to Scalemates it's a 2004 re-pop of the 1968 kit.

Doing a Hasegawa 1/72 P-38J. It's amazing that there is such a poor selection of P-38's in 1/72. This is an old mold with raised panel lines but the fit is pretty good and it looks reasonably accurate to me.. No wheel well detail and not much of a cockpit. Doing it in the Yippee scheme put on the 5,000th P-38 built. Here's also the cover of a 1944 Flying magazine from my shelves that featured it. Somewhat of a whiplash feeling doing this right after the Tamiya 1/72 P-47.
As usual there is a build log on my website: http://goldeneramodel.com/mymodels/p38/3p38/3p38.html

I agree John, it's outrageous that no one has done a P-38 kit in 1/72 recently. Academy did one but it is impossible to find now leaving only the ancient Hasgawa and Airfix kits. Oh, and the impossible to build Dragon kit
Interesting scheme on yours, I have not seen this before.

I have some 1/48th decals for this one someplace. It is something different!
Looking Good John!

Well, I've got 5 or 6 models on the bench, 4 about 85 or 90% done, and one about 50% done. I'd like to make some bench space clear, so what do I do? Start another one.
This is a quicky. I've never done a metal art thing before. Turns out, it's a great way to tune up your PE working skills. Says it can be done with no glue (HA - when you bend the wrong way, then bend the right way and it breaks off, well CA to the rescue), in about 4 hours for a 14 year old and up. Took this 79 year old about 14 hours. About 36 pieces, most had to be bent or folded in some fashioned.
It's kinda delicate and not real big, but was a fun build.
Now, back to finishing up something.

Hey everyone! Now that I'm back and more or less caught up on most of your tremendous work, here's what's on my bench:
Details can be found in my new Maddog Manufacturing Thread. Feel free to check it out.

Lots of progress going on here!!
My wife got me a Metal Earth Delorean for Christmas. I got to step 2 and then broke off one of the pieces bending it into shape! So far it has not been a positive experience!
