The Lockheed P-38 Lightning is a World War II–era American piston-engined fighter aircraft. Developed for the United States Army Air Corps, the P-38 had distinctive twin booms and a central nacelle containing the cockpit and armament. This aircraft took a little while for me to build and I'm pretty tired of it. Thankfully though it's done and I'm mostly happy with the outcome. I also have another aircraft that will be coming out in a few days, the Stits Skybaby. Its pretty simple but really cute. So look forward to that. But yea overall this p-38 was pretty difficult, but I'm pretty happy with the model and flight performance. Hope you enjoy!

Oh, his turbochargers, and gear doors are more accurate. But someone already told me mine flies better. So thanks!@KnightOfRen
Yours looks more detailed. @Hedero
Here@KnightOfRen
Can you link me to it? @Hedero
Thank you! However, I would give the best looking p-38 to DeezDucks.@KnightOfRen
This looks so nice! This is the best P-38 i've seen! @Hedero
Yes it is.@Simpleww1server
I'm a little confused as to what's going on lol. But yea no problem.@GamerC
as deadly as it is beautiful
The landing gear has a problem because they cannot raise but I have a plan.the input is change from landing gear to vtol up and I change the angle as 115 degrees and the shocks is change as rods due to soft bounce and they worked hehehehe but thank you for your work
Well I wonder if part of what has to do with it is that he is better known by the community and has more points than me. I don't know but that's my theory. I'm glad the performance is good though, and I'm glad you like it.@BogdanX
Well it was just over six days or so after the last one was posted. I also didn't really want my racer to be posted first, I was getting too excited to post my p-38. But hey, 61 upvotes is really quite good for my standards. I don't think it would've done much better even if I had changed the date of upload anyways.@BogdanX
Wdym? I'm building one right now, should be ready before too long.@Woozyliana
@Hedero isnt the cf 105 the avro arrow?
Lol that's fine, I'd probably crash and burn too.@lilgreen06
@Hedero OK well when I tried it, I failed at it massively. LOL
The issue with the plane is that its a stealth, and stealth shapes and curves are super hard to replicate in sp. So for that reason, I do 't think I'm gonna build it. But besides, I have quite a few aircraft to upload before I think about new requests.@lilgreen06
Well I just found it.@lilgreen06
@Hedero I don't know how the website would be restricted it is just Wikipedia
@Hedero ok
It says the site is restricted. I'm gonna try and just search it up on my own.@lilgreen06
@Hedero CLICK HERE for the wiki and pictures about it.
I'm not sure what that is.@lilgreen06
You mean the rigging wires? I just size them down super small. If you go into the editor of the fuselage block, just click on the numbers that say the size, and manually edit the block down to .03.@lilgreen06
Uhh I don't think so.@Woozyliana
