The Tamiya 25199 kit presents a faithful 1/48 scale rendition of the Lockheed P-38H Lightning, known for its twin-boom layout and wartime performance. The kit balances authentic shape with parts that suit display and diorama work.
This kit depicts the P-38H produced in May 1943, complete with the upgraded 20mm cannon and a 1,500kg bomb load capability. It includes newly designed components to show the enlarged supercharger intakes and the reinforced undercarriage details.
At 240mm fuselage length and a 330mm wingspan, the model is engineered to sit correctly when weights are fitted. The cockpit contains wheel-style controls, radio fittings and a throttle box, and optional parts like the main landing gear air duct give modellers scope to refine the appearance.
