P-38J
Lightning
1/40 Model
- "Marge"
This
beautiful,
handmade
authentic
P-38
Lightning
replica is
made from
the very
finest
grade of
select
kiln-dried
Philippine
mahogany
wood. It
is made
entirely
by hand -
from the handcarving
of the
fuselage,
wings and
tail
section -
to the
sanding of
the
aircraft's
contours.
Every part
is
assembled
precisely
into place
using the
highest
quality
adhesive
available.
11 ¼" in
length and
has a
wingspan
of 15 ½".
After
shaping
and
sanding,
the model
passes
through
several
stages of
priming
and
sanding
before it
is hand
painted to
duplicate
the actual
colors of
Major
Richard
Bong's
"Marge,"
model.
Handmade
bombs and
droptanks
are
correctly
reproduced
to
represent
real
weapon
loads for
the
aircraft
and to
give the
model an
enhanced
value.
Next,
multiple
coats of
clear
lacquer
are
applied to
protect
the
exquisite
artwork
and to
provide an
overall
glossy
finish.
Finally,
this model
comes
ready to
display
with a
natural
stained
mahogany
stand.
