Here is where I am on this one.
The cockpit isn't much - no reall attempts to add anything. Just a bit of Prismacolor and/or Sharpie oil pens.
Center wing/fuselage section
As odd as it sounds, the fit is almost too good. The seams and joints are so well done, that it is hard to get the liquid cement to wick. But, I'll take that.
Still bummed about the masks. Anyone want to do a cut file?

John, that comment made me chuckle! It certainly isn’t a Williams brother kit!
KennyX, thanks. Yep, for what you pay these days...

Re: Tamiya P-38
Looking great Lyle!
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall
