Tamiya Lockheed P-38 J Lightning 1/48 Model Airplane Kit

Users say:

The full-sized Lockheed P-38 Lightning made its first flight in January of 1939 with the P-38 J variant taking flight in 1943. The J version featured streamlined engine nacelles that fitted the turbo-supercharger intercooler system as well as the oil cooler for increased protection during combat.
