History:
What would become one of the best fighters in World War II was created more by happenstance than by design. The Lockheed P-38 Lightning was originally designed as a bomber-interceptor and was never intended to be a fighter. Weight was kept to a minimum and it was far more advanced and faster than its U.S. counterparts, the Bell P-39 Airacobra and Curtiss P-40 Warhawk. It caught the attention of the US Army Air Corps (USAAC) very quickly and it would be in great demand. It was faster than the Zero—even on one engine. It shot down more Japanese airplanes than any other fighter during World War II—seven of the top scoring USAAF aces in the Pacific flew the P-38. It was as versatile as the de Havilland Mosquito, but it was the only truly successful twin-engine fighter of World War II.

That's funny
Yeah, when you add twelve interceptors and five wing guns your plane tends to be good a dogfighting...

@Sunnyskies
Thanks!
HOWEVER, despite the aesthetic detail being the best I've probably ever seen, there are a few small structural inaccuracies. Most noticeable is the lack of a dihedral on the wings, which also makes the booms sit lower than they are supposed to. The size is a little off as well. It's a few feet larger than the genuine article. Also the propellers both spin in the same direction, something only P-38s exported to the British did. Since this aircraft has American markings, is should be assumed both propellers spin up-and-out. Lastly, the landing gear give this Lightning a totally level ground angle. The P-38 sat with a slight nose-up angle, meaning the nose wheel should extend slightly lower than the main wheels.
However, despite these few nitpickings, (and many small others I could drone on about for hours), this lightning is among the best I've seen. 9/10 overall. Great job!
@ChiChiWerx Oh yes! This is quite nice indeed. A top-scorer in my opinion!
@Sunnyskies you should check out this one...
Np!
And he grades them
Have you contacted Sunnyskies about this? He has a list of every p38 ever
