Cobi P-38 Lightning / 332 pcs Lockheed P-38

The Lockheed P-38 Lightning was a standard fighter of the USAAF during World War II and was primarily used in the Pacific theater, where it recorded the highest number of Japanese aircraft shootdowns among all US fighter models. Originally designed as an interceptor, the Lightning was also used as a fighter-bomber and, at the beginning and with modest success, as a long-range escort fighter. The design with twin tail booms and a central fuselage pod was completely new and initially met with some skepticism. Nevertheless, at the end of June 1937, the Lockheed variant was chosen as the new interceptor. The P-38 was armed in the fuselage pod with four 12.7 mm Browning M2 machine guns and, depending on the type, with either a 20 mm or a 37 mm Hispano-Suiza autocannon. The pilot's canopy was made of bulletproof glass, and the two twelve-cylinder V engines, each with 1600 hp, drove two counter-rotating propellers that reached a top speed of 666 km/h (in the L model). Model with 332 parts, printed blocks, and movable elements. Model dimensions (LxWxH): 24.5 x 33 x 8 cm
