Boasting a production run of approximately 10,000 units, the P-38 Lightning is known as the aircraft flown by many ace pilots. While it continued to evolve tirelessly since its first flight in 1939, the improvement in engine performance led to insufficient cooling capacity, resulting in a problem where the output at high altitudes was limited to 1,250 horsepower. The P-38J, which began production in August 1943, solved this problem. The intercooler was moved from inside the leading edge of the outer wing to the underside of the engine, and its capacity was also enhanced. It became possible to stably produce the same 1,425 horsepower at high altitudes as the takeoff output. As a result, additional fuel tanks were installed in the space freed up inside the leading edge of the outer wing, extending the range. A well-balanced improvement in performance was achieved. The J model, which underwent various other modifications, further enhanced the P-38's reputation during World War II. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e【Model Specifications】★This is a 1\/48 scale plastic model assembly kit. ★Length 240mm, wingspan 330mm. ★Based on research of the actual aircraft, the unique fuselage shape is realistically modeled. ★The features of the later model are reproduced without reservation, such as the intercooler mounted on the lower part of the engine cowling, the main wing with additional fuel tanks on the leading edge, and the No. 1 canopy with a flat front windshield. ★The shape of the air ducts connected to the intercooler and oil cooler is also faithfully represented. ★Main spar parts integrated with the nose landing gear bay are provided to achieve wing strength and accurate dihedral angle. ★The cockpit interior is also finished with a three-dimensional feel, including the Lynn-3 gunsight, the distinctive control wheel, and the radio equipment behind the cockpit. ★Three types of markings for ace aircraft are included. \u003cbr\u003e\r\n \u003cbr\u003e\r\n ■Product Specifications\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Manufacturer: Tamiya\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Item No: 61123\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Size: Overall length 240mm, overall width 330mm\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Release Date: Around July 9th, 2022 (Saturday)\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Scale: 1\/48\u003cbr\u003e\r\n JAN: 4950344611232\u003cbr\u003e\r\n \u003cbr\u003e\r\n","brand":"tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46570795729054,"sku":"4950344611232","price":60.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/7620\/6750\/files\/4950344611232.webp?v=1772297184","url":"https:\/\/tsurumai-hobby.com\/products\/4950344611232","provider":"TSURUMAI HOBBY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
