P-38D Lighting mk.II

Auto Credit Based on BrokenSpectre's P-38D Lighting

Here is (another) P-38 Lightning. There are a ton here and many are beautifully built, but I was unable to find one that incorporated the iconic 20mm autocannon. So here is a P-38 built with (hopefully) a balance between accuracy and fun. This model has a low poly count and A FREAK'N CANNON!!! In flight it is a little slow turning but there is a certain joy derived from strafing with a giant nose cannon. This revision has improved engines and mast intakes. The dimensions, weight, fuel range, and armament are close to book specs. Have fun!
