SEAC LIGHTNINGS

[kitbasher]

Suprisingly no - I've done a DAF P-39, but hadn't thought of a DAF P-38 - maybe for strike operations over Corsica and Sardinia ? I can see where that would fit in to my Alt WWII scenario prior to the desert Hornet

Mmmmm.  I think th eSEAC P-38 as  precursor to th eHornet is entirly plausible, well done mon brave!

Mmmmmmm . . . P-38.  SEA Camo.  Update with turboprops. Some sort of COIN bird possible?

I really must get round to doing my own take on the Lightning, with Griffon engines.

You know Duncan,

that idea I realy like

What are you waiting for!

Nice one Chris, that SEAC scheme suits the P-38 a treat.

It's surprising quite how often one tends to forget the umpteen different types that sported the SEAC scheme, not to mention the ones that didn't.........

Wow

Very nice Chris!

ok, duncan. i must do that 4 engined S-3 Viking i'm sure i promised you years back.

chris! excellent model. would a RAF F-5 [PR P-38] also work?

Well it would Trev but my SEAC forces use PR Spits and Mosquito's. Most of the Mossies were withdrawn until the airframe problems caused by the climate were sorted, but the PR birds stayed.

The Mossies were replaced in the light bomber role by B-26's. One of which will hit these pages soon

Every time I see a P-38 I want to go build one ! Great idea on this one Chris. Love the colours on it.

While the Capt is on his nostalgia trip  This model is now actually in the works ..... 6 years latter

That's art following real world. There's an article in one of the Aircraft magazines about the P-38 in RAF colours. I'll try and dig it out with more info.

[NARSES2]

They did "have" one or two early ones for trials. No supercharger though if memory serves

[Captain Canada]

Good on ya Chris !
