The Lockheed P-38 Lightning was a World War II American propeller-driven fighter aircraft. Developed to a United States Army Air Corps requirement, the P-38 had distinctive twin booms and a single, central nacelle containing the cockpit and armament. Allied propaganda claimed it had been nicknamed the "fork-tailed devil" by the Luftwaffe and "two planes, one pilot" by the Japanese. The P-38 was used in a number of roles, including interception, dive bombing, level bombing, ground attack, night fighting, photo reconnaissance, radar and visual pathfinding for bombers, and evacuation missions. And extensively as a long-range escort fighter when equipped with drop tanks under its wings. (from Wikipedia)

@Fedorka Alright, good luck. If you ever need any input on the design, I know lots and lots of information about the P-38.
Thank you @marcox43
@Sunnyskies yes, it doesn't fly very well. I'm trying to fix it. Thank you!
Nice work.
The shape is pretty close.
Flight needs work though.
