Few warbirds carry the detailing of the E-flite P-38/F-5E Lightning® 400 ARF (EFL6025). Details including invasion stripes, cockpit details, appropriate squadron markings, removable drop tanks, counter-rotating props and spinners, functional scale elevator mass balances and much more, are all factory finished. Intricately detailed superchargers are molded into the fuselage and painted to replicate a weathered and worn look. The kit comes highly prefabricated with all parts factory painted, along with hinges and control surfaces installed, so you don’t have to wait long to get flying. The wing panels slide easily in and out of the booms using the factory-installed carbon tube spars. Each panel is secured with just two wing screws making assembly easy. All that’s left is about 2 to 4 hours of minor assembly and electronics installation to get flying, making this one of the most detailed and quickest to build P-38 models ever available.

Key Features
• 95% factory built and finished
• Can be flight ready in just 2 to 4 hours with little to no glue required
• Accurately etched panel lines and factory-applied paint scheme
• Fully detailed, factory-installed cockpit, pilot and canopy
• Factory installed hinges, control surfaces and control horns
• Plug-in wing panels for easy transport
• Functional scale elevator mass balances
• Includes 10 x 8E counter-rotating props and spinners
• Factory-assembled, optional-use landing gear with steerable nose wheel
• Flyable with a single 3S 11.1V 2000–2200mAh Li-Po pack
