P-38 LIGHTNING WWII MAHOGANY WOODEN WOOD MODEL HAND CARVED CRAFTED MADE AIRPLANE This handcrafted mahogany wood model is an extremely beautiful replica of the P-38 Lightning complete with display stand. The Lockheed P-38 Lightning was a World War II American Figther Aircraft. Developed to a United States Army Air Corps requirement, the P-38 had distinctive twin booms and a single, central nacelle containing the pilot and armament. The aircraft was used in a number of different roles, including dive bombing, level bombing, ground strafing, photo reconnaissance missions, and extensively as a long-range escort fighter when equipped with drop able fuel tanks under its wings. The P-38 was used most extensively and successfully in the Pacific Theater of Operations China-Burma-India Theater of Operations, where it was flown by the American pilots with the highest number of aerial victories to this date. America's top aces Richard Bong earned 40 victories (in a Lightning he called Marge), and Thomas McGuire (in Pudgy) scored 38. In the South West Pacific theater, it was a primary fighter of United States Army Air Forces until the appearance of large numbers of the P-51D mustangs toward the end of the war. This is not some cheap wood toy, each model takes an average of 18 hrs to complete and is coated with 3 coats of polyurethane for a super high gloss finish. You will not find a better more detailed model than this.
