Hasegawa 1/48 P-38 "Beautiful Lass"

Hi, I know I've been away a bit - stash hoarding more than building recently if anything :laugh:
Anyway I have something for this GB which I acquired off eBay for a good price -

I've read some reviews of this kit and it seems to get slammed a bit for the fit. Hence the cheap price perhaps cos no one wants to build it. The starboard boom is off from the vertical and Hasegawa are to blame! That is what they say anyway. I test fitted it and where I can just about notice it, its nothing that a bit of sensible hold and glue process shouldn't cure. Failing that -
