This 1/48 scale Academy kit is incredibly versatile, including all the optional parts to build one of four distinct variants: the standard P-38J fighter, the glass-nosed "Droopsnoot" bomber leader, the P-38L "Pathfinder," or the F-5E photo-recon aircraft. The kit features fully engraved panel lines, realistic PVC tyres, and markings for several aircraft, including Col. Charles H. Mcdonald's famous "Putt Putt Maru."
