Guillow's Lockheed P-38 Lightning Model Kit Black, Small

You will want at minimum 28oz of super glue, some form of clamps(i used chopsticks and string) and a Xacto knife, still putting mine together, waiting on more superglue and am looking to kit it with rc parts, its a great kit

Super excited to build this! The model is die crush, not laser cut. The balsa wood quality seems ok, However it could be better. Plastic parts look fine. Overall it looks solid. For those who don’t know or have had built this model before, some parts have been removed because they are simply outdated.

Probably will be a kit i'll have to take my time with but it's a quality product with lots and lots of detail. I'm looking forward to starting.

Good kit. They are expensive, but I expect that. Very authenic and was fun to built it. Will buy more.

It's pretty early to be reviewing the kit, because I'm only about 1/2 built. The parts all seem to be there and the directions are extensive, if not always clear to an old guy who hasn't built a stick plane in 30 or 40 years. Having a great time!

Good quality

Great model...a lot of detail and study the instructions beforehand.

Typical Guillow's model construction. I really like their kits!

C ,EST PARFAIT

The large scale of this kit makes it easer to build as I have slight tremors in my hands. The design and fit is good. I didn't like the flimsy Ness of some of the vacume blown plastic parts. I did have fun building my own landing gear out of spare plumbing parts. I also bought aftermarket wheels and props (fairly inexpensive). Finished model looks great. As I built it for display only, I laminated the fuselage to smooth it out.
