The Lockheed P-38 Lightning was a revolutionary fighter for the time with its tricycle landing gear, twin boom and turbo-superchargers. The first models were accepted by the Army Air Force in October 1941 and, by the end of the war, nearly 10,000 had rolled from the production lines. From introduction until 1945, many modifications were made in the original design to comply with the needs of the air services. On April 18, 1943, a flight of P-38's downed Japan's great naval strategist, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, while he was flying on an inspection tour of the Solomon Islands. Due to its unusual configuration, the Lightning was dubbed the "fork-tailed Devil" by the Luftwaffe and "two airplanes with one pilot" by the Japanese-grudging respect earned by its formidable appearance and reputation. • Series 2000 kits are some of the world's finest scale balsa model kits and contain the best quality materials and instructions • Designed as a large flying or Build 'N Show display model • Guillow's - your one source for model plane kits since 1926 • Made in the USA From the Manufacturer Guillow's is the recognized leader in quality scale balsa model airplane kits.

Review: Steady hands and patiences - You will want at minimum 28oz of super glue, some form of clamps(i used chopsticks and string) and a Xacto knife, still putting mine together, waiting on more superglue and am looking to kit it with rc parts, its a great kit Review: Awesome kit - Probably will be a kit i'll have to take my time with but it's a quality product with lots and lots of detail.
