Yep, definitely OD.  Its funny, Bong scored very few of his 40 kills in "Marge" (I think 3 or 4, but don't quote me on it) He actually flew a number of different P-38s throughout his tour.  He scored the most (12 kills) in a P-38G coded White 79.  I built up my Hasegawa one in those markings and have just started restoring it after five years in storage.  Great kit!  Somewhere in my library (which is also in storage) I've got several photos of that particular bird.

All of my better references have the panel as OD.
