P-38J Lightning
Another Great Model from the Past

This is by far one of the best kits for a WW2 aircraft, complete with parts for 3 versions. Pathfinder bomber, RADAR interceptor or fighter, any of which would prompt the builder into making all three versions, which is exactly what I might just do! The first thing to do is inventory all the parts, everything is subject to loss, missed packing and other things that plague all modelers. Then dry fit all of the parts. Older Monogram/Revell kits have the tendency to have fuselage alignment problems even with edge pins to help in alignment, double check with this model as the tail booms had problems in the past, I think I built one of these kits about 40 years ago and the molding didn't change to the better. The model decal sheet neatly portrays two of the famous pilots and crew of two of the versions and cannot be beat as far as overall fantastic and historically accurate. I highly recommend this kit.
