{"product_id":"tam61123","title":"Tamiya 1\/48 Lockheed P-38 J Lightning Model Kit - TAM61123","description":"\u003cp\u003eOur legendary 1\/48 Aircraft Series welcomes the J variant of the Lockheed P-38 Lightning! Our first P-38 kit, released in late 2019, came in the form of the F\/G variant, and it quickly became the definitive P-38 kit of the modeling world. The Lockheed P-38 Lightning was an American twin engine fighter aircraft produced by Lockheed; it was the first Lockheed fighter aircraft which was officially adopted into service. The P-38’s variants were used during World War II and they reached about 10,000 production planes. Equipped with intercoolers under engines, the P-38J Lightning yielded 1,450hp at high altitude and maximum 1,600hp, plus longer-range courtesy of fuel tanks in its wingtip leading edges in addition to the main fuel tank. As a result, the P-38J offered stable and astonishing performance at any altitude, and gained great renown among American fighter aircraft. • 1\/48 scale plastic model assembly kit. Length: 240mm, width: 330mm. • The unique form (twin-engine, twin-tailplane) with radiator fairing and larger engine cowlings of the P-38J (late P-38) is accurately captured. • Features realistic renderings of air ducts connecting intercoolers to oil coolers. • New-shape turbo superchargers are realistically depicted. • The first canopy with the flat front glass and 2-part third canopy are authentically recreated. • The second canopy can be depicted open or closed. A 1-part slide-molded piece succinctly and realistically depicts closed canopy, and the three parts including vertically openable upper hatch recreates the opened canopy. • New parts are added to depict wingtip leading edges which have detailed refueling ports. • The steering wheel is replaced by a gun-grip type stick. • A detailed cockpit features separate side walls with the throttle box and radio while the Lynn-3 gunsight, radio at the back of cockpit and more are also depicted. • Nose landing gear has updated fork and main landing gear has reinforced upper rotating struts. • The spar part (combined with the nose landing gear bay) is inserted into wing, which ensures an accurate dihedral angle. • Contains parts to recreate two each of 150- and 300-gallon drop tanks. • Weights for nose and right, left engine cowlings are included in the kit to ensure correct balance of the model when displayed. • Comes with three marking options, including the “Marge\" P-38J which the US ace pilot, Richard Ira Bong flew. • Comes with canopy masking stickers and a full-color painting guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTamiya\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eManufacturer item\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e61123\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eStore SKU\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTAM61123\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eProduct type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAircraft Model Kit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eScale\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\/48\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eConstruction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAssembly kit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eConstruction Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAssembly Kit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDecals\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRequired To Complete\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCement, Paint and Finishing Supplies\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eModel length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e240mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eModel width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e330mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eManufacturer feature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction Type: Assembly Kit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRelated collections\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tamiya-aircraft\"\u003eTamiya Aircraft Model Kits\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tamiya-1-48-aircraft\"\u003eTamiya 1\/48 Aircraft Models\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/model-aircraft\"\u003eModel Aircraft\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tamiya-paints\"\u003eTamiya Paints \u0026amp; Modeling Supplies\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tamiya-models\"\u003eAll Tamiya Model Kits\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67986341298250,"sku":"TAM61123","price":70.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/megahobby.com\/products\/tam61123","provider":"Mega Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
