It formed the backbone of the USAAF (United States Army Air Forces) fighter fleet and was used in every theater of war. It was in this plane that Major Richard Bong—the top American air ace—claimed most of his aerial victories. The P-38 F\/G Lightning was used as an escort fighter, light support bomber, reconnaissance aircraft, and night fighter among other roles.\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eAdvantages of the Tamiya Model\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cul\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003ePrecise surface and panel line details\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eOptional assembly parts (open\/closed panels, two front fuselage variants)\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eHigh-quality decals allowing for recreation of different color schemes\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eMasking sheet allowing easy and precise painting of the cockpit and landing gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eAssembly instructions with drawings explaining each stage of construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\n      The Tamiya 61120 model is ideal for both intermediate modellers and historic aviation enthusiasts.
