Lightning White 33
Here's my take on Tamiya's 1/48 scale P-38 Lightning model. The kit gives you the choice of building either Miss Virginia (P-38 G) or White 33 (P-38F). Despite the historical significance of Miss Virginia and the mission to shoot-down [...]
Tamiya 1/48 P-38F Lightning “Texas Terror/The Mad Dash”.

In looking for something different I chose to my second Tamiya P-38 as a captured aircraft, albeit flown briefly, and evaluated by the Luftwaffe.
I added Ultracast wheels, Eduard steel belts on kit seat and the guns are Master barrels set [...]
