Il P-38 “Lightning”, progettato dall’ingegnere della Lockheed Clarence “Kelly” Johnson ed il suo team ditecnici, rappresentò uno dei cambiamenti più radicali dallo sviluppo tradizionale dei caccia Nord Americani.
Il P-38 “Lightning” fu una rivoluzione rispetto alla progettazione aeronautica convenzionale, incluso, lapotenza e l’armamento a bordo velivolo. Non solo aveva potenza e dimensioni doppie rispetto aipredecessori, ma con non meno di quattro mitragliatrici calibro 0.50 più un cannone da 20mm, il P-38 avevaabbastanza potenza di fuoco da affondare una nave –ed a volte l’ha fatto. Le mitragliatrici, concentrate nellaparte centrale del velivolo, sparavano parallelamente eliminando la necessità di utilizzare dei sincronizzatoricon le eliche.
Il modelloLa miglior riproduzione ARF del P-38 “Lighting” presente nel mercato. Il modello è indirizzato agliappassionati delle riproduzioni in scala attenti ai dettagli. Si tratta dell’unico modello ARF sul mercato adavere “flower flaps” funzionali. C’è ne sono ben quattro! Il rivestimento in speciale film polivinilico rispecchial’effetto “logorio”. La cura dei particolari è “maniacale” come, ad esempio, nella sagomatura delle presed’aria, nei dettagli delle naca motore, nelle ogive in scala…Un modello per intenditori, non perdetel’occasione di pilotare questo eccezionale velivolo!Potete arricchire ulteriormente la riproduzione installando carrelli retrattili con gambe ammortizzate erendendo funzionali gli sportelli dei carrelli.Il P-38 è indirizzato all’aeromodellista esperto nel pilotaggio dei bimotori. Non è adatto come primo bimotore.

P-38 VQ MODEL REVIEW
All text and pictures by Twinman (George Lumpkin) (from: www.rcwarbirds.com)
While I will admit that I own a VQ P-38, I decided to compare the only two ARF. P-38 kits
on the market. This was made easier, when a buddy of mine, called me to tell me that he
had taken delivery of the new KMP P-38 ARF. Due to job duties, I have been unable to
fully complete my P-38, but loaded it up and off to the buddy's location for a look see for
both of us. Below is the comparison of the two vastly differing kits.
What I found, or believe in my opinion, is that the two kits are aimed at different
modelers.
The VQ kit is directed toward the scale modeler crowd. In that it includes the only
working fowler flaps, which I am aware of, on any ARF kits on the market, and there are a
scale four of them. It also has actual weathering of the finish. (Though some do not like
this touch) Much attention is paid to scale details on the model and extra features are
included as detailed below. The main structures are completely hand built of balsa and
plywood.
The KMP is, in my opinion, aimed at the flier crowd, who are less concerned about scale
appearance and details. From the ground, it also appears to be the unmistakable P-38 in
the air. It is also less expensive and of mostly composite construction.

CENTER SECTION COMPARISION
VQ Center Wing section Center.Pilot pod bolts
around the center of the wing section.Note the
two of four flowler flaps.
KMP Center Pod and Center Wing section. This
part contains part of the wing structure.
FLAPS COMPARISION
VQ Fowler FlapsKMP Center wing section and conventional flaps.
Note, the CA hinges are not secured
RADIATOR INLET COMPARISION
VQ Radiator inlets are recessed and colored. KMP Radiator Inlets are not colored and flat
NOSE GEAR DOOR COMPARISION
VQ from landing gear doors and included spring
loaded oleo strut for smaller front tire.
Bottom of KMP Center pod. This is a taped on
plastic cover. There are no landing gear doors
included, even though retractable landing gear is.
This cover must be cut out for the landing gear
operation and bolted to the pod. Note parting
line.
GEAR DOOR COMPARISION
VQ complete set of reinforced landing gear
doors. Not installed.
KMP Landing gear opening on main booms.
Note, this is only a taped on plastic covering.
No landing gear doors are included. The
plastic cover is cut out for landing gear and
bolted on to the boom.
VQ main landing gear, doors, and included spring loaded oleo struts.
COWLING COMPARISION
VQ engine cowls. Scale cutouts for cooling air and
recessed. No parting lines
KMP Engine cowls. Note that there are no
scale inlets for the air and must be cut out.
Note the parting lines on the cowl.
CANOPY COMPARISION
Installed canopy decals for frame and included
pilot figure. Note Fake "weathering" on the
wings. I really do not think the frames on the
real P-38 were that thick for either model.
KMP Pilot canopy comes pre-painted for the frame
area. Hope the pilot does not want to see out!
OUTER WING PANEL COMPARISION
VQ outer wing section. Note fowler flaps and
installed nylon piano style hinges on the ailerons.
Note, I would always check a manufactures hinge
installation via pulling, I found none loose. At
least some attempt was made to ad panels lines.
KMP outer wing section and ailerons with none
installed CA hinges. The plane has no scale
"Panel Lines".
BOOM COMPARISION
KMP view down the composite boom structure
toward the tail area. There appears to be no
internal reinforcement in this area. Maybe not
needed. Due to composite construction.
KMP boom construction. Servo and landing gear
wood structure is glued to composite boom
structure.
VQ built up boom construction including the frame for holding the fuel tank.
VQ view down the boom toward the tail of built up construction.
BOOM ASSEMBLY COMPARISION
VQ wing attachment area. Uses three
aluminum rods with wood inserts. Rods
must be bolted from under wing at each
installation using wood screws. The extra
push rod shown is for the wing fowler flaps.
This is a snap on affair inside the wing in a
removable cover that must be connected
and removed at each wing service.
KMP side view of boom assembly. The boom contains
part of the seven piece wing assembly. A long single
large diameter aluminum rod is used to hold all this in
alignment. The wing sections are glued to the center
sections using wooden dowels for alignment. The outer
wing panels are held on via a internal mounted rubber
band.
SUPERCHARGER COMPARISION
The VQ supercharger area. Not painted, but a
SMALL bit more detail, but the fit must be
adjusted via a heat gun. The lips are for bolting
the cover over the wing to boom connection.
KMP Close up of the turbo charger details. This is
a separate piece on both kits. I personally would
like more details, but it is a complicated area. This
is a good close fit to the boom.
WHEELS COMPARISION
VQ Wheels. Not only are they
scale with a smaller nose wheel,
but scale in appearance.
KMP Wheels. Note that they are all the same
size, which is not scale.
KMP Horizontal stabilizer. This is a built up one piece assembly that you cut off a V shaped
opening in the covering, slide into an opening in the rear of the booms and epoxy in place.
Make sure of alignment before epoxy is applied. Note instructions in this area for proper
alignment. Operation of the elevator is via a single servo mounted in the center pod and a
pull pull wire arrangement to the center of the elevator.
VQ horizontal stabilizer is attached to the rear of the booms using aluminum rod with wood
insert, and two dowel. I epoxy'd mine in place. The instructions allow for this area to be
bolt on, for disassembly, but I did not go that route. Operation of the elevator is via two
servos, one in each boom, to control each end of the solid elevator.
VQ "Machine Guns" included
VQ wing fowler flaps
VQ Included three blade spinners. Props and engines are not included.
