Needs a lot of attention to detail. - I purchased this model so I could review the differences between the F/G and J P-38 Lighting Fighter Aircraft. The models are very feature/detail rich but there are many very small parts that are fussy to work with. This model absolutely needs a lot of attention to detail to paint and assemble. Not recommended for kids. It's too complicated. Review: Best Build - This build has gotten so many positive reviews on YouTube and online. I have to agree with the reviews I have seen and read about. This model has been engineered so well that there is virtually no sanding of the edges or pin molds or gaps to be filled. Each piece I have assembled so far fits perfectly. The detail is so good that I barely used any PE or 3D decals I bought, thinking there would be room for enhancement. I did, however, use the decals for signage on the radio equipment sitting behind the pilot. This build has gone so smooth! ## Features - This is a plastic model kit. Assembly and painting is required. - Paint and glue is not included. - Contains parts to build one model. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07XBJHSVD | | Additional Features | Portable | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Art Craft Kit Type | Airplane | | Brand Name | TAMIYA | | Color | White | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (404) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04950344611201 | | Included Components | MODEL KIT | | Item Dimensions | 25 x 38 x 8 inches | | Item Type Name | MODEL KIT | | Item Weight | 0.16 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Tamiya | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Name | Lockheed P-38F P-38G Lightning | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Paint Type | Military | | Product Style | Unique | | Scale | 1:48 | | Seasons | All Seasons | | Size | 15.75 x 9.84 x 3.15 inches | | Subject Character | Pilot | | Theme | Military | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** TAMIYA - **Color:** White - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 25 x 38 x 8 inches - **Theme:** Military ## Images ![USA TAM61120 1/48 Lockheed P-38 F/G Lightning - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61K9GdLi0vL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very high quality parts but very small and fussy to build.
