This comprehensive set is designed for advanced modelers who wish to elevate the realism and detail of their model to the highest level. The product is classified as accessories for plastic scale model kits.

The set includes three individual kits:

• 491115 – a set of detailed photo-etched parts dedicated to the model’s interior and external details
• FE1116 – photo-etched seat belts made with STEEL technology

All accessories are produced using precise photo-etching and cutting technology, made from photo-etched brass and stainless steel (belts – STEEL), and the masks are made from high-quality self-adhesive film, ideal for precise masking during airbrush painting. Each component perfectly replicates the actual details of the P-38H aircraft structure.

The P-38 Lightning is an American heavy fighter aircraft from World War II, operated primarily by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF). The P-38H model was used in combat during 1943–1944, including campaigns in the Pacific, Europe, and North Africa. This aircraft has gone down in history as one of the symbols of the US Air Force—famous, among other exploits, for the mission to eliminate Admiral Yamamoto.

Thanks to the photo-etched parts, realistic STEEL seat belts, and professional painting masks, every Tamiya P-38H model will achieve extraordinary scale realism.

Assembly difficulty level: 4/5. The set requires experience with photo-etched parts and work with small details.
