Tamiya 1/48 P-38F

A kit that needs no introduction?
Anyway, looking through my stash today I had a sudden desire to build a 1/48 fighter, and a Tamiya kit at that, so asides from the FW-190 I picked up cheap from Amazon (I'll start a thread when it arrives) I found that this beast was calling to me - it has been for a few days. I read an interesting blog post about not keeping kits until your skill improves, not being scared to start them and all that - which was the case for me with this one (and the F-14). Basically I've seen so many awesome builds of this on line, I was worrying that I'd never do it justice.
I'm thinking I might well go for the 'Miss Virginia' option. Although I do have some AM decals....
So I did start this kit a few years ago, but because of my previously mentioned mental block, it stalled quite quickly. I got as far as adding a coat of interior green.
Tonight I spent a happy hour or so giving all this a second coat, and then blocking in all the boxes etc. in black - pics to follow.
Cheers!
