Eduard Brassin Edition – quality and durability
Eduard 648521 P-38F/G undercarriage legs is a high-quality accessory set made of solid bronze, designed to replace the original (plastic) landing gear legs in the Tamiya 1/48 scale P-38F/G Lightning model. Thanks to precise metal casting, you avoid the risk of delicate parts breaking during assembly or model display. The set includes three bronze parts and one resin part, accurately replicating the original landing gear design.

Realism and durability
These components offer significantly greater durability and load resistance compared to traditional plastic landing gear legs. This is especially important for larger, heavier models such as the Lockheed P-38 Lightning, whose large wingspan and weight often challenge plastic structural elements.

Historical background
The Lockheed P-38 Lightning was an American multirole fighter used mainly during World War II (1941–1945). It was renowned for its unique twin-boom configuration and versatile use – from bomber escort missions to reconnaissance operations. P-38F and P-38G aircraft played a crucial role in US Air Force operations in the Pacific, Europe, and North Africa.

• Durable bronze parts prevent bending and cracking under load
• Dedicated for the P-38F/G model by Tamiya (1/48)
