About product

Eduard 1:48 P-38J Lightning, nose gun bay (3D PRINT)

This set is not an aircraft kit but a detail accessory from the Brassin range, made by direct 3D printing in resin. It replaces the plastic nose of the twin-boom Lockheed P-38J fighter with a faithful rendering of the nose gun bay, that is the compartment with the concentrated armament and with covers that can be shown removed on the finished model to reveal the interior detail. The accessory is intended for the P-38J kit in 1:48 scale from Tamiya. Small photo-etched parts and decals are usually included as well. It is a product for experienced modelers.

The real subject

The Lockheed P-38 Lightning was an American twin-engine fighter of the Second World War with its characteristic twin-boom layout and a central nacelle, in the nose of which all the armament was concentrated. The J version was among the more capable variants, with improved cooling. Concentrating the guns on the axis of the machine gave the Lightning accurate and concentrated fire without the need to converge wing-mounted guns.

Building tips

  • First wash the uncured print resin residue off the parts and let them dry.
  • Cut off the print supports and sand the surfaces with respiratory protection.
  • Glue with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue), because ordinary cement will not hold on resin.
  • Dry-fit the parts before gluing them in and pick out the open bay with color.

Who the set is for

For advanced builders of the Lightning who want to show the gun bay open on their model, the way a museum exhibit shows it.

This is an accessory for a model, not the model itself. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package.

FAQ

No. It is a detail accessory, a 3D printed resin nose bay. The P-38J kit in 1:48 scale itself has to be bought separately.

The set is shaped for the P-38J kit in 1:48 scale from Tamiya. With other kits or versions of the Lightning, expect to make adjustments.

Resin and 3D printed parts are glued with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). Ordinary plastic cement will not hold on this material.
