Product description : Lockheed P-38J Lightning
THE MOST IMPORTANT VERSION OF THE LEGENDARY LIGHTNINGTHE US AS FIGHTER OF THE PACIFIC WAR
This late version of the famous P-38 Lightning which succeeded the F and G (61120) stood out by its "chin" radiators (so called because of their protruding air intakes) now located under each engine. 2,970 P-38Js were produced between August 1943 and June 1944 which, combined with the P-38L, constitutes two thirds of the approximately 10,000 P-38s produced. The first two American WWII aces flew the P-38J, demonstrating its effectiveness in the Pacific War.

Parts looked very nice, and went on easily. The surface detail effects are shallow, so go easy on the paint, or they will disappear. *
W. James The usual Tamiya level of detail, went together well. Having a larger crew is a nice feature. *
W. James Usual good Tamiya quality for a modern vehicle. Kit has been upgraded with multiple colour schemes and markings, although it still has desert tyres *
W. James Usual good Tamiya quality, builds up into nice vehicle, even without p/e enhancements. *
W. James Everything was perfect! Shipping took longer than normal, but that's not unexpected shipping overseas. A great experience overall. *
A. Anonymous Everything was perfect! Shipping took longer than normal, but that's not unexpected shipping overseas. A great experience overall. *
