Description

P-38M Night Lightning Airplane ModelP 38 Night Lightning fighter model. Early in 1943, at least two unidentified P 38Fs were modified in the field by the Fifth Air Force as single seat night fighters by fitting an SCR540 radar with yagi antennae on the nose on both sides of the central nacelle, and above and below the wings. In order to make room for the radar, two of the 0. 50 inch machine guns and their ammunition boxes had to be moved forward. Three P 38Js were also modified in the

P-38 Night Lightning fighter model. Early in 1943, at least two unidentified P-38Fs were modified in the field by the Fifth Air Force as single-seat night fighters by fitting an SCR540 radar with yagi antennae on the nose on both sides of the central nacelle, and above and below the wings. In order to make room for the radar, two of the 0.50-inch machine guns and their ammunition boxes had to be moved forward. Three P-38Js were also modified in the field as experimental night fighters.

However, these modifications were all single seaters, and it was found that the flying of the plane and the operation of the radar was too much of a job for just one person. Consequently, Lockheed attempted to adapt the P-38L as a two-seat night fighter. In 1944, Lockheed converted P-83L-5-LO Ser No 44-25237 as a two-seat night fighter, with the radar operator sitting aft of the pilot under a raised section of the canopy. The aircraft was fitted with an AN/APS-6 radar in an external radome underneath the nose, relocated radio equipment and anti-flash gun muzzles.

This modification was successful, and provided the USAAF with a night fighter having a top speed of 406 mph at 15,000 feet as compared to only 369 mph at 20,000 feet for the Northrop P-61A Black Widow. Consequently, the Army issued a contract change calling for the Lockheed Modification Center in Dallas to convert 80 additional P-38L-5-LOs into P-38M twin-seat night fighters (some sources give 75, but 80 serials are identified). They were painted glossy black overall. These were just entering service when the war ended. The P-38M saw operational service in the Pacific in the last few days of the war. It was an effective night fighter with very little performance penalty over the standard single-seat Lightning.

Mahogany Wood. Scale: 1/32. Wingspan 19 1/2 inches, Length 14 1/2 inches.

Scrub excellence
Color: 2 Pack
Love a good natural material, I feel like it's really maximizing use of my soap bar, and it's a scrubby and exfoliating feeling everytime that I shower. Definitely recommend.

Great natural exfoliation and keeps soap longer
Color: 2 Pack, Color: 2 Pack
I really like these Dewlavelle soap bags made from natural Egyptian loofah. They’re a simple idea, but they work really well in the shower. Just place your bar soap inside, wet it, and it creates a rich lather while gently exfoliating your skin. Pros: Natural loofah material gives great exfoliation without being too harsh Creates a nice, rich foam with bar soap Helps use up small leftover pieces of soap instead of wasting them Dries quickly between uses Long hanging loop makes it easy to hang in the shower Comes in a convenient 2-pack Cons: Texture may feel a little rough for very sensitive skin Needs to be rinsed and hung to dry to keep it fresh Overall, these are a great addition to a shower routine. They help your soap last longer and give your skin a nice exfoliating cleanse at the same time. Great value for a natural product.
