The “L” version was a development with increased range, more modern Allison V-1710 engines, and upgraded armament: four 12.7 mm machine guns and a 20 mm cannon. It served on many fronts but is most famous for its actions in the Pacific – the legendary 80th Fighter Squadron (“Headhunters”) operated this aircraft, supporting Allied actions over New Guinea, in the Battle of Leyte, and escorting bombers over the Philippines. The P-38L Lightning was produced and operated in 1944-1945, becoming one of the key American fighter planes of World War II.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The \u003cstrong\u003eHobby 2000 48028\u003c\/strong\u003e kit includes:\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003ePrecision plastic parts for building a complete P-38L Lightning model (Academy manufacturer)\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eExclusive Cartograf decals for historical and detailed 80th Fighter Squadron markings\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eDedicated masks to ease painting of the cockpit glass and wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eDetailed assembly instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n    Material: high-quality plastic (polystyrene).
