This plane cant fly, and is only for looks. I spent a whole day on this, so please enjoy. I plan to make this my 3D print. Please comment and upvote. P.S? Do you want me to make a flying version?

    Thanks, but I wanted it to be simple so the printer can easily do it. If I wanted it more detailed, I would have put more detail in it@Sunnyskies

    @CRJ900Pilot The shape and scale needs improvement though. For a 3D print, you should try to get as close to the actual shape as possible.
    THIS is my favorite image of the P-38 for reference on size and shape. It's a very accurate drawing.

    A whole day?
    I really like the landing gear doors. No one has ever modeled them on the P-38 here.
    By the way, the main gear has two doors each.
