Great work on the Dragon kit. I didn’t know they even made aircraft kits. I have a number of their 1:35 scale armor kits in my stash. I like dragon overall, and have built a handful over the years.
As for the P-38, even though it’s one of my favorite aircraft, I’ve only built this one Revell kit several years ago…
Like most Revel kits it will test your nerves due to poor quality and fit issues. I do have a couple of Hasegawa 1:48 scale P-38s in my stash I’ll get around to at some point. Right now I’m working on a Airfix 1:35 scale Pzkpfw IV Ausf. H.
I’m doing this one in a late war winter scheme.

I see you screwed up like I did on your P38 - we didn’t add enough nose weight.
You had to prop up your tails, like me.
I couldn’t find enough room to add the nine grams of lead. Three grams in the nose wasn’t enough.

I have Tamiya's new(ish) 1/48 P-38 in the stash which i've heard is an awesome kit. Have the decals to do this bird:
