Hobby 2000 72043 1/72 Lockheed P-38M Night Lightning

A number of Lightnings were modified as night fighters.

Several field or experimental modifications with different equipment fits finally led to the "formal" P-38M night fighter, or Night Lightning. A total of 75 P-38Ls were modified to the Night Lightning configuration, painted flat-black with conical flash hiders on the guns, an AN/APS-6 radar pod below the nose, and a second cockpit with a raised canopy behind the pilot's canopy for the radar operator.

The headroom in the rear cockpit was limited, requiring radar operators who were preferably short in stature.
