The F variant was Manufactured from April 1942 onward, and featured pylons for 150-gallon drop tanks to make it capable of longer bombing missions. Later p-38gs had more powerful engines and could carry bigger 300-gallon drop tanks. The P-38 was used for interception, dive bombing, level bombing, ground attack, night fighting, photo reconnaissance, radar and visual pathfinding for bombers and evacuation missions, and extensively as a long-range escort fighter when equipped with drop tanks under its wings. 1/48 scale plastic model Assembly kit.

Review: Very high quality parts but very small and fussy to build. Needs a lot of attention to detail. - I purchased this model so I could review the differences between the F/G and J P-38 Lighting Fighter Aircraft. The models are very feature/detail rich but there are many very small parts that are fussy to work with. This model absolutely needs a lot of attention to detail to paint and assemble. Not recommended for kids. It's too complicated.
Review: Best model ever. - Great details, an engineering masterpiece, the elements hold together without glue!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very high quality parts but very small and fussy to build. Needs a lot of attention to detail.
*by P***R on September 21, 2025*

I purchased this model so I could review the differences between the F/G and J P-38 Lighting Fighter Aircraft. The models are very feature/detail rich but there are many very small parts that are fussy to work with. This model absolutely needs a lot of attention to detail to paint and assemble. Not recommended for kids. It's too complicated.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best model ever.
*by P***K on August 24, 2025*

Great details, an engineering masterpiece, the elements hold together without glue!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best 1/48 Airplane Kit I've Built
*by C***Z on September 13, 2021*

This is hands-down the best-designed, best-manufactured airplane kit I've assembled. All parts fit very well, and required minimal, if any, sanding or trimming. The model also comes with three ball bearing weights (and a specific place to include them inside the fuselage) to keep the finished aircraft resting on it's nosewheel, and not tip back. The instructions recommend Tamiya's AS-6 Olive Drab and AS-7 Neutral Gray spray can paints for the fuselage. I prefer the finer control that comes with an airbrush, so I substituted Tamiya XF-62 (olive drab) and AK 2013 (medium sea grey), and I was pleased with the results. For finishing layers I used Mr. Color GX100 Super Clear III (gloss) and Mr. Color GX113 Flat Super Clear, again with good results. The kit includes masking templates for all those canopy panes. These templates have not been die-cut, though, so you will need to cut them yourself with sharp knife.
