The P-38 was the most wellknown fighter aircraft of WWII, because of its unusual silhouette. This twin powered fighter, with its characteristic double fuselage was recognized instantly and feared for its power by most enemy aircraft.

The P-38 was used on all battlefields of WWII in a variety of versions and different tasks.

Modellers who miss something on this highly detailed model are free to add more detail on there own. What is great on these models is they are not avaliable as kits in this scale at all and would be as expensive whitout beeing built too.

So all models are made from plastic and be fixed with screws or superglue, they can be easiely disassambled and converted or detailed even more!
A profi modeler will convert this model to a superior masterpiece easiely.

The soldier figures are of the same size like for example the commander of the Tamiya King Tiger RC-Tank. Which means they are almost the same scale. Eather 1/16 or 1/18 scale? How ever they can be shown side by side with other models in 1/16 scale whitout sowing the difference to much.

The enclosed soldier figures are of high quality in design and painting and need not to be redone. Who dislikes the moveable armes and legs may glue them in position and paste the seams with putty.

Most customers will like the model like it comes from the box and who hasn't the skill or time to modify the model gets a great model for a great price!
