Description
This is a 1/48 scale plastic model assembly kit. Length: 240mm, width: 330mm. Exhaustive studies of actual P-38 aircraft enabled this precise recreation of the distinctive twin boom aircraft form, with particular highlights being early model slimline engine cowlings, wing shape and rounded canopy design. Integrated landing gear bay and wing spar parts ensure sturdy assembly and accurate recreation of angle. Choose between P-38F and P-38G canopy designs, with each able to be assembled open or closed. The detailed cockpit features recreations of the control wheel, bulletproof glass plate, rear-mounted radio equipment and more. One-piece tailplane horizontal stabilizer slides on and is secured by rudder components. Metallic finish decals are used on main and nose landing gear strut cylinders. The nose has depictions of four 12.7mm machine guns and the 20mm cannon. Weights are included to ensure correct balance of the model when on display.
