The rumour about a new release coming from Tamiya has been confirmed and we are expecting Lightning.
Tamiya has announced they have a P-38 F/G in the works. This new kit will be in 1/48 scale and including markings for two aircraft that served in the Pacific theatre.
From Tamiya:
1/48 scale plastic model assembly kit. Fuselage length: 240mm, wingspan: 330mm.
P-38F and P-38G variants can be built.
The model creates a parked aircraft when assembled and complete.
Features accurate depictions of early P-38 features such as slimline engine cowlings, intercoolers in leading edges, plus the curved canopy front.
Weights are included in the kit to ensure correct balance of the model when displayed.
The canopy can be assembled open or closed. When closed, it is a 1-part slide-molded piece with dedicated F and G variant parts. The hatch is shown open sideways on the P-38F, and vertically on the P-38G.
A detailed cockpit features the wheel-type controls, radio, throttle box and more.
Comes with parts to recreate two each of 150- and 300-gallon drop tanks.
Includes two marking options: White 147 P-38G which took part in the interception of Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto in April 1943 and White 33 P-38F.
Mirror stickers are included to recreate cockpit mirror and engine cowling interior surface sections.
Comes with canopy masking stickers and a full-color painting guide.
Unfortunately there is now release date as of yet, but stay tuned to Aeroscale.
