Tamiya Lockheed P-38 F/G Lightning (1:48 Scale)

Lockheed’s distinctive P-38 Lightning joins Tamiya’s 1/48 Aircraft Series as a detailed plastic model assembly kit of the P-38F/G. The twin-boom WWII fighter is recreated with a central nacelle and the early-production styling cues associated with the type, while the kit offers a choice of P-38F or P-38G variants in a parked-aircraft configuration. With a detailed cockpit and options for canopy position, it suits modellers looking for an involved build with clear finishing guidance.

Early P-38 features are represented with slimline engine cowlings, intercoolers in the leading edges and a curved canopy front. The set also includes parts for both 150- and 300-gallon drop tanks, plus two marking options, including “White 147”, a P-38G linked to the April 1943 interception of Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto.
