Tamiya Plastic Model Kit
Lockheed P-38 F/G Lightning (1/48) 61120
This 1/48 scale Tamiya kit captures the unique twin-boom design of the Lockheed P-38 Lightning, one of the most distinctive and versatile fighters of WWII. Introduced in 1941, the P-38 served across multiple theatres, excelling in interception, escort, and ground-attack roles. The F variant, operational from 1942, featured pylons for 150-gallon drop tanks for extended range, while the later G variant introduced more powerful engines and the option for 300-gallon tanks.
- Highly detailed 1/48 scale model with parts to build either P-38F or P-38G variant
- Authentic early-production features including slimline engine cowlings and leading-edge intercoolers
- Detailed cockpit with controls, radio, and throttle box
- Optional open or closed canopy with variant-specific hatch positioning
- Includes 150-gallon and 300-gallon drop tanks
- Marking options for “White 147” (P-38G) and “White 33” (P-38F)
- Canopy masking stickers, weights for correct display balance, and mirror stickers included
This kit allows modellers to recreate two historically significant versions of the Lightning, including the P-38G used in the mission to intercept Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto.
