Exceptional accessory for the P-38 Lightning model

This set is intended for modelers building a replica of the American twin-engine fighter Lockheed P-38 Lightning, one of the most important fighter planes of World War II. The P-38 was used by US Air Forces primarily on both the European and Pacific fronts from 1941–1945 and gained distinction as an escort fighter, reconnaissance plane, interceptor, and ground-attack aircraft. The use of separate armed nacelles allowed for a highly concentrated firepower, so correct reproduction of the barrels has a significant impact on the model’s authenticity in scale.

The Quickboost QB48361 barrels were designed to precisely match the caliber and finish details of the P-38 Lightning’s armament, fitting perfectly into the Hasegawa model fuselage. With remarkably thin walls and perfectly rounded openings, they recreate the characteristic look of this iconic aircraft’s weaponry.

Who do we recommend this product for?

This product is recommended for intermediate and experienced aircraft modelers who wish to improve the detail and historical accuracy of their P-38 Lightning replica. Using resin barrels enables a much better visual effect than with plastic parts. Assembly is not complicated, but it does require basic knowledge of working with resin components.

Summary

Quickboost QB48361 is an indispensable accessory that raises the level of realism and quality of your model. An excellent choice for detail-conscious modelers who wish to accurately recreate the armament of the World War II P-38 Lightning fighter.
