After a long wait and much
speculation, Tamiya's 1:48 Aircraft
Series welcomes a brand new
addition in the form of the Lockheed
P-38 Lightning. This WWII US fighter
was a radical design with twin tail-
booms, each with an Allison piston
engine, plus a central nacelle which
housed the cockpit and powerful
armament (.50cal machine guns and
cannon in the nose). Introduced in
June 1941, the aircraft went on to be
deployed extensively throughout the
Pacific theatre of operation as well
in Europe.
The P-38F variant was manufactured
from April 1942 onward and featured
pylons for 150 gallon drop-tanks to
make it capable of longer bombing
missions. Later P-38Gs had more
powerful engines and could carry
bigger 300-gallon drop tanks.
Tamiya's kit has been a while in

development but it will be on release
soon. Check your hobby shops and
online for availability.
Kit specs:


  • Fuselage length: 240mm,
    wingspan: 330mm

  • Features accurate depictions
    of early P-38 features such
    as slimline engine cowlings,
    intercoolers in leading edges, plus
    the curved canopy front.

  • Weights are included in the kit
    to ensure correct balance of the
    model when displayed

  • Canopy can be assembled open or
    closed. When closed, one-part slide-
    moulding is used. Dedicated F and
    G variant parts

  • The hatch is depicted opening
    sideways on the P-38F and
    vertically on the P-38G

  • The detailed cockpit features
    wheel-type controls, radio, throttle


box and more.


  • Kit includes two each 150 and 300
    gallon drop tanks

  • Canopy masking stickers and a full-
    colour painting guide

  • Mirror stickers are included to
    recreate cockpit mirror and engine
    cowling interior surface sections.
    Markings options

  • 'White 147', 339th Fighter
    Squadron, 347th Fighter Group,
    13th Air Force (which took part in
    the interception of Admiral Isoroku
    Yamamoto in April 1943)

  • 'White 33', 39th Fighter Squadron,
    35th Fighter Group, 5th Air Force
