This is a brand new diecast model of the Lockheed P-38J Lightning Fighter Aircraft in White with Red Wingtips "United States Army Air Force," produced by Runway24, complete with a 7.25-inch long runway section for display. The model features a detailed exterior, comes in a blister pack, and is made of diecast metal with some plastic parts. It does not have any openings and comes in the manufacturer's original unopened packaging. The model measures approximately 4 inches in length with a wingspan of 5.5 inches and includes a flexible rubber runway section that can be combined with other Runway24 sets to create a custom display. The Lockheed P-38 Lightning, especially the "Red Tip" variant, played a crucial role during World War II as a long-range fighter and bomber escort. Introduced in the early 1940s, the P-38 featured a distinctive twin-boom design and twin Allison V-1710 engines driving counter-rotating propellers, providing exceptional speed, range, and redundancy. The "Red Tip" models often had distinctive red nose paint and improved armament, enhancing their combat effectiveness. The P-38 saw extensive service in both the Pacific and European theaters, achieving notable successes, including the interception of high-profile targets such as Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto. This meticulously crafted diecast model faithfully replicates the aircraft's streamlined design and signature red nose, making it a collectible tribute to the historical significance and technical innovation of the P-38 Lightning.
