Product Description The Lockheed P-38 Lightning was undoubtedly one of the most original aircraft in terms of design and aerodynamic layout during World War II. It was a heavy fighter with a revolutionary double boom construction that housed the two engines while the pilot sat in a central cockpit in the front of the aircraft. Thanks to its two Allison V-1710 12-cylinder V engines, each with 1425 hp liquid-cooled, the P-38 reached a top speed of over 660 km/h. She was armed with four Browning machine guns in 12.7mm calibre and a Hispano M2 cannon, which ensured strong firepower. Compared to the single-engine fighter aircraft of the time, it was not very maneuverable, but extremely robust and stable. Their strength lay in the high range, which proved particularly useful in the Pacific Theatre and long-range escort missions of bombers over Europe. Due to its characteristic shape and impressive operational capability, the P-38 has been dubbed the "two-tailed devil" by enemy pilots. Safety Warning Not suitable for children under 14 years
