    P-38 Let me start off by saying the P38 Lightning is my favorite WWII plane. It looks neat and was rather effective. This version is set up for ground attack 4 hard points for rockets and carrying 2 bombs.
    The first photo is the business end with 4 .50 machine guns and 20mm cannon. The concentration of fire power there would saw the wings off bombers.
    Next the underside. The landing gear raises and lowers and the landing gear doors open and shut.
    Next next is the cockpit. Note the real version it very large for plane with a single crewman. Close to the size of a medium bomber.
    Wrapping it up with a rear view of the mid section.
    Got lots of fun stuff coming up.

      It is a neat plane. What was the fuel capacity for the P-38 ?

      Thank you very much again Scott. Even has hallowed out machine gun barrels.

      Thank you very much Alfie. About 1,000 gallons with drop tanks.

      The large scale allows for so much more extra detail. Love it.
