Aurora 1/48 Scale Lockheed P-38 Lightning

            Right from the box of the old Aurora kit from the 1950s. The Pitot tube under the nose is reminicent of a P-38D or -E, but the general shape is of a P-38J or -L. Scale is basically OK, but the shape's a little wacky, and the decals don't accurately depict any real ship or era.
I have a sentimental attachment to some of the old Aurora kits--they were among my first models when I started modeling at age nine or so.
