COBI's new version of the P-38H model is more than just a replica – it's an invitation to journey through time back to the 1930s, when Clarence "Kelly" Johnson designed this unique fighter.

The P-38H was one of America's key aircraft during the Second World War, renowned for its unusual design, including its twin-boom configuration. Powered by twin Allison V-1710-111 engines producing 1,425 hp each, it delivered an impressive combined power output of 2,850 hp.

As one of the fastest fighters of the Second World War (671 km/h), the P-38H was distinguished by its exceptional manoeuvrability, speed, and versatility, making it invaluable across multiple theatres – both in Europe and the Pacific.

Armed with four 20mm cannons and two .50 calibre machine guns, plus the capability to carry additional ordnance, it proved a formidable weapon in the hands of Allied pilots.

This enhanced set, featuring additional elements and a new colour scheme, enables an even more accurate representation of this legendary aircraft's distinctive silhouette.
