1:48 Lockheed P-38F/G Lightning

Decals Lockheed P-38F/G Lightning 1:48 (Eduard)

This set of waterslide decals (water-activated transfers) offers quality markings for the early versions of the Lockheed P-38F and P-38G Lightning fighter in 1:48 scale. The decals are printed with sharp registration and rich colors and with a minimal carrier film, so that once dry they blend with the surface of the model.

The real subject

The P-38 Lightning was a twin-engined American fighter with a characteristic twin-boom layout and a central nacelle for the pilot. The F and G versions were among the early combat modifications used from 1942, among other places in the Pacific and over North Africa. The Lightning stood out for its range, its speed and its heavy armament concentrated in the nose.

Use and tips

• Apply them over a smooth gloss clear coat, which prevents hazing under the film
• Release the decal in lukewarm water and move it onto the model
• For perfect adhesion into the detail, use a decal softener
• Finally seal it with a flat or semi-gloss clear coat

Who the decals are for

The set is intended for modelers who want to give their 1:48 Lightning attractive and accurate markings beyond the contents of the base kit.

This is a standalone decal set. The airplane model and paints are not included in the package.
