@Sunnyskies thanks for the tips, I appreciate it. I'm torn between reading this properly and doing an X-29 but I'm definitely going to redo it at some point now.

It's pretty good overall, but as an expert on the P-38, I could list of dozens of gripes and tiny issues. Here's the important things:
The shape is pretty good. It's clear you tried to make it look right. However, the size is way off, and there are issues with part placement, wing angles and other things.
It also has a handful of functionality issues. Notably, very poorly implemented rudders, and incorrect propeller rotation direction.
Performance also suffers a bit. Though the top speed is very close to its real world counterpart, the pitch rate is incredibly low compared to the real deal. The roll rate is just about right, but there is an auto-roll (but the REAL Lightning had one too, so It's not really a big deal).
Overall, this P-38 scores 6/10.
For a one of a person's earliest works, it's pretty good work. I'm sure a redo would be fantastic.

@sunnyskies wanna review this? It's one of the first planes I posted here, considering a redo

very good, now I'll shoot some Japanese planes

Armed version is on its way!

Thanks, I started with building from memory (looks nothing like the real thing) then went on to using photos. I'm confident that this is as close to real as you can get without resorting to xml/overly complex building. I'd rather it look basic and work well on mobiles than be complicated and unflyable

Nice dude, that is one good lightning!
