Academy 12282 1/48 P-38 Combination Version Lightning

The World War II Lockheed P-38 had a unique design with twin booms, a piston engine in each, and a central nacelle for the cockpit and armament. From June 1941, this aircraft was used extensively in the Pacific Theater. This powerful fighter was used for interception, dive bombing, ground attack, night combat, radar and visual surveillance, bomber pathfinding, evacuation missions, and as a long-range escort fighter equipped with underwing drop tanks. Academy's 1/48 scale kit includes parts to assemble the P-38 in one of four variants including the P-38J, P-38J Droopsnoot, P-38L Pathfinder and F-5E Photo Recon.
