Night fighters were a specialization that existed until the eighties, it is an exciting story, from open-cabin biplane fighters with no instruments other than the pilot's eyes, to specialized gadgets with the best technology of their time.
The P-38M was the night fighter version of the Lightning, with two crew members in piggyback, the radar operator sat in that tiny cabin behind the pilot, to operate the radar that was on a pod in the nose of the aircraft.
The model is the Airfix P-38F, modified to represent an M, with a thermoformed cabin and radar left over from a Revell model. The painting is old Marino, almost everything by brush, the only decal is the one on the Boom.
