Lockheed P-38 Lightning

105k Hedero  4.6 years ago

The Lockheed P-38 Lightning is a World War II–era American piston-engined fighter aircraft. Developed for the United States Army Air Corps, the P-38 had distinctive twin booms and a central nacelle containing the cockpit and armament. This aircraft took a little while for me to build and I'm pretty tired of it. Thankfully though it's done and I'm mostly happy with the outcome. I also have another aircraft that will be coming out in a few days, the Stits Skybaby. Its pretty simple but really cute. So look forward to that. But yea overall this p-38 was pretty difficult, but I'm pretty happy with the model and flight performance. Hope you enjoy!

    The landing gear has a problem because they cannot raise but I have a plan.the input is change from landing gear to vtol up and I change the angle as 115 degrees and the shocks is change as rods due to soft bounce and they worked hehehehe but thank you for your work

    Well I wonder if part of what has to do with it is that he is better known by the community and has more points than me. I don't know but that's my theory. I'm glad the performance is good though, and I'm glad you like it.@BogdanX

    Well it was just over six days or so after the last one was posted. I also didn't really want my racer to be posted first, I was getting too excited to post my p-38. But hey, 61 upvotes is really quite good for my standards. I don't think it would've done much better even if I had changed the date of upload anyways.@BogdanX

    The issue with the plane is that its a stealth, and stealth shapes and curves are super hard to replicate in sp. So for that reason, I do 't think I'm gonna build it. But besides, I have quite a few aircraft to upload before I think about new requests.@lilgreen06

    You mean the rigging wires? I just size them down super small. If you go into the editor of the fuselage block, just click on the numbers that say the size, and manually edit the block down to .03.@lilgreen06
