1:48 Tamiya 61123 US Lockheed P-38 J Lightning Plastic Model kit

With the 1:48 Tamiya 61123 US Lockheed P-38 J Lightning, you build one of the most recognizable American fighters of World War II. Originally developed for speed, firepower and long-range capability, the P-38 Lightning evolved continuously until the P-38J solved major cooling limitations with redesigned intercoolers mounted beneath the engines. Now capable of its full 1,425 horsepower at high altitude, the J-variant became a deadly escort, interceptor and strike aircraft. Thanks to the fast delivery and excellent support from Most-Models.com, you can start assembling this historic aircraft right away.

As you build, you’ll appreciate Tamiya’s exceptional authenticity: the precisely recreated engine cowlings, realistic intercooler and oil cooler ducting, beautifully detailed cockpit with Lynn-3 gunsight, and the distinctive twin-boom P-38 silhouette. The integrated spar and nose landing gear ensure perfect strength and alignment, while options for three ace-markings let you recreate legendary aircraft including Richard I. Bong’s “Marge.” With multiple drop tanks, a 3D-scanned pilot figure and included masking stickers, this kit offers depth, realism and pure model-building satisfaction.
