The superb P38 Lightning from E-flite gives
modelers the opportunity to fly one of the best, and most
potent twin engined fighters of World War Two. The full-size
P38 was a truly remarkable aircraft, and this superb recreation
is equally remarkable.
E-flite have chosen to model the P38 in the style of a
photo reconnaissance F-5E version that took part in the
invasion of Europe during D-Day, it wearing the blue-grey
reconnaissance paint scheme with black and white invasion
stripes. The wealth of scale detail in this model includes
everything that a modeler could want, and the list is almost
endless. Features such as removable drop tanks, contra-rotating
propellers with spinners, functional scale mass elevator
balances, detailed cockpit with pilot painted pilot figure,
etched panel lines, accurate pre-applied decals, detailed
superchargers moulded into the top of the fuselage booms,
weathered and painted to represent a “war weary” version.
The kit comes with a host of practical features
enabling the model to be made flight ready in just a few hours.
Plug in wing panels, pre-installed carbon wing tubes, pre-hinged
control surfaces, easy-access magnetic hatches on the bottom
of each of the tail booms provide quick and easy access to the
elevator and rudder servos, and the top mounted magnetic battery
hatch allows easy access to the battery, receiver and speed controller.
All without the need for tools. On the ground and in the air
the contra-rotating propellers provide straight tracking, and
they substantially reduce torque reaction, making the P38 the
smoothest twin-motor model you have ever flown! |
