Collin Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Big fan of the new release (still waiting for their 1/32 Hellcat though). So...how soon before a F-5 photo-recon nose comes out? Cheers Collin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Geoff M Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Maybe the Academy nose will fit? geoff M Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stefan buysse Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Hi, There seem to be sets for Tamiya kit 61120 (the P-38f/G). 1/48 Recon Lightning - Konwersje - CMK - KFS-miniatures I don't own any of these sets and I have no idea if they are suitable for recce variants that were based on the P-38J. Cheers, Stefan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Geoff M Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 I have a couple of those sets for the Tamiya F/G and they are specific to the F-4 version of the photo Lightning. The F-5 was very different. Geoff m Quote Link to post Share on other sites
P-38 guy Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) The F-5A nose will work on a J to make an F-5B-1. You will need to change the windscreen to earlier rounded type found on earlier model P-38's. The J-1 and J-5 all had it and all F-5B's came from those early J's.

Collin Posted February 8, 2022 Author Share Posted February 8, 2022 Recon P-38J with full invasion stripes is but one of the schemes I’m going to do. Can’t wait for this release!!! Cheers Collin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
