Revell 04293 Lockheed P-38 L/M Lightning is a high-quality plastic model kit in the popular 1:72 scale. The model faithfully reproduces the details of the famous American fighter aircraft Lockheed P-38 Lightning in L and M variants, which was widely used during World War II by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF).

The P-38 Lightning became one of the most distinctive aircraft of that conflict – with its twin fuselages connected by long tail booms and a central cockpit gondola. It was used mainly by the USA, but also by some Allied nations as a fighter, reconnaissance plane, and for ground support missions. One of the most famous interceptions of World War II was made with the P-38, piloted by Major Richard Bong, the highest-scoring USAAF ace. Lightnings took part in operations in the Pacific, Europe, and North Africa from 1942 to 1945.

The Revell 04293 model is made from high-quality plastic, ensuring ease of assembly and precise fit of the parts. The set contains numerous details reproducing the cockpit, landing gear, armament, and panel lines, as well as decals for various historic paint schemes. Glue and paints are not included – they must be purchased separately, which allows you to choose shades individually according to the instructions or your own preferences.
