Its unique silhouette and parameters—top speed over 640 km\/h, heavy armament, and excellent range—made it particularly effective over the vast expanses of the Pacific Ocean. It was from the cockpit of the \"Lightning\" that American pilots gained air superiority during the island-hopping campaign, and the best Allied aces, such as Richard Bong, flew this type of aircraft.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The \u003cstrong\u003eHobby 2000 72042\u003c\/strong\u003e model is distinguished by very finely rendered details, well-fitting parts, and precise decals allowing you to recreate authentic paint schemes from Pacific operations.
