First flown in January 27, 1939, the production planes began to arrive in October 1941 just in time for the war. The P-38 in one of its outstanding exploits intercepted and destroyed a plane carrying Japanese top Admiral Yamamoto, killing him. The P-38L was a further improvement of the P-38J that finally saw the P-38 achieve its potential. The P-38L introduced self-sealing fuel tanks and armour protection for the pilot. The plane was equipped with four .50 cal. machine guns plus a 20 mm cannon. It could carry 4,000 pounds of bombs or ten 5 in. rockets. When the U.S.W entered World War II, the P-38 was the fastest and heaviest armed fighter. The P-38L, of which 3,848 were built, was the version with the greatest quantity. Dive flaps that were introduced on the last block of P-38J's were now standard. High aileron control forces that gave earlier 38s a creaky rate of the roll were rectified by the addition of hydraulically boosted ailerons. This gave the P-38L a tremendous roll rate at high speed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: 1:32\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItem Type: Static Aircraft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel Brief: Length: 360mm Wingspan: 495mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Parts: 362pcs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal Parts: Aileron \u0026amp; Flap Shaft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhoto Etched Parts: One for Aileron \u0026amp; Flap hinges, another for engine intake net\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilm Parts: Instrument part\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Sprues: 19pcs sprues + 3 rubber tires\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaint Schemes: P-38L-5-LO of 431st FS,475th FG, 5th AF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore Features: Full detail Engine, Workable flaps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","published_at":"2023-09-15T08:55:10+02:00","created_at":"2023-07-22T14:07:11+02:00","vendor":"Trumpeter","type":"Scale Model Kits","tags":["Brand_Trumpeter","Category_Aircraft","Scale_1\/32 Scale","Type_Propeller Aircraft"],"price":239995,"price_min":239995,"price_max":239995,"available":false,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":44717859111163,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"9580208022277","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":false,"name":"Trumpeter - 1\/32 Lockheed P-38L-5-LO Lightning","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":239995,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/products\/Trumpeter---1-32--P-38l-5-Lo-Lightning.jpg?v=1690027631"],"featured_image":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/products\/Trumpeter---1-32--P-38l-5-Lo-Lightning.jpg?v=1690027631","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":33242905084155,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.887,"height":265,"width":500,"src":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/products\/Trumpeter---1-32--P-38l-5-Lo-Lightning.jpg?v=1690027631"},"aspect_ratio":1.887,"height":265,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/products\/Trumpeter---1-32--P-38l-5-Lo-Lightning.jpg?v=1690027631","width":500}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch1\u003e1\/32 Lockheed P-38L-5-LO Lightning\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTrumpeter 02227\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExcludes all \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/collections\/plastic-kit-model-glues\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eglues\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/collections\/paints\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003epaints\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/collections\/tools-desk-top-storage\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003etools\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003enecessary to assemble.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe P-38 was a radical change for American fighter aircraft.
