A unique collection related to the restoration of a WW11 P-38 Lightning aircraft which was recovered from 268 feet under the Greenland ice cap on which it had belly-landed 50 years earlier. Plus other related items.l). Two soft-cover books signed by author Bert Kinzey: 'P-38 Lightning Part 1', XP-39 through P-38H and Part 2. P-38J through P-39M. Both copies are in nice condition.2). 60-plus 6: x 4" and 7" x 5" color photographs of the Glacier Girl P-38 during various stages of its restoration including several showing detailed parts and a roll-out celebration.3).

The break seems clean and easily repairable and a $5.95 P-38 1:32" plastic scale model would provide the missing props. (See Ebay completed items). Seems like a lot of bother but this is quite an expensive replica, retailing at the Kentucky Museum of Aviation for $175.00, so may be worth the trouble.
