This 1:48 scale model reproduces the famous P-38 Lightning in its J, L, Droop Snoot, and F-5E variants — one of the most adaptable aircraft of World War II.
The distinctive twin-boom airframe with a central nacelle features engraved panel lines, detailed engines, realistic radiators, and movable control surfaces.
The cockpit includes complete instrumentation, a realistic pilot seat, an optical gunsight, and a clear canopy with reinforced framing.
Builders can choose between the Droop Snoot version (with a glazed nose for precision bombing) or the F-5E (photo-reconnaissance variant equipped with cameras).
Accessories include 500 lb bombs, drop tanks, .50 cal Browning machine guns, detailed landing gear, and openable weapon bays.
High-quality decals provide authentic USAF and RAF markings for several operational liveries.
A superb model that combines engineering precision, historical realism, and the unmistakable elegance of the Lightning in flight.
