Aviation History Art
From blonde bombshells to iconic
characters and catch names, this new series of die cast
models captures some of the most memorable and eye catching
nose art in the world. The unique feature of this collection
is that the nose art not only appears on the model plane but
also on a faithfully reproduced larger scale die cast cut
out section of the fuselage, which can be mounted on the
enclosed display base with the model aircraft! Aircraft
measure 4" in wingspan and panels measure 3" across.

| Research Notes: The twin-engine P-38 Lightning, a radical design conceived by Lockheed design genius Clarence "Kelly" Johnson in the late 1930s, became one of the war's most successful fighter planes, serving in Europe and the Pacific. About 10,000 of the planes were built, and about 32 complete or partial airframes are believed to still exist, perhaps 10 in operational condition. |
