About product

P-38 Lightning - early armament 1:48 (MASTER)

This set is not an airplane model but a detailed metal accessory for a kit of the American P-38 Lightning fighter in 1:48 scale. It contains turned barrels for the Browning .50 caliber machine guns with drilled cooling jackets and 20 mm cannon tips, in both the early and the late form. The metal parts have faithful muzzles beyond the reach of injection-molded plastic.

The real subject

The Lockheed P-38 Lightning was an American twin-engine fighter of the Second World War with a characteristic twin-boom layout and a central nacelle. The armament was concentrated in the nose of the nacelle and consisted of four Browning .50 caliber machine guns supplemented by a 20 mm cannon.

Fitting and tips

Cut the plastic barrels off the nose of the nacelle and replace them with the metal parts, ideally into pre-drilled holes. Glue with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). Degrease the metal before painting and apply the paint thinly, so that the muzzles and the cooling jackets stay sharp.

Who the set is for

  • builders of American Second World War fighters
  • modelers who want faithful metal armament instead of plastic
  • more experienced modelers working with super glue
  • collectors who will appreciate the fine detail of the barrels and the cannon tips

The accessory requires a base kit; glue, paints and the model itself are not included in the package.
