The P-38J introduced improved engine cooling and cockpit heating. One J variant, serial 43-28538, carried the name Virginia Marie and the number 194 while assigned to the 433rd Fighter Squadron of the 475th Fighter Group in New Guinea. An aviation-history publication places the aircraft at Biak in October 1944; another aircraft history records earlier operations from Hollandia. The type's range made it useful for escort missions over the Pacific.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Features \u0026amp; Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1:72 scale painted diecast Lockheed P-38J Lightning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRotatable propellers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProgressive paint scheme of \"Virginia Marie\".\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReady to display with the included stand, no assembly required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProduced under license from Lockheed Martin for the P-38 Lightning trademarks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Includes one diecast model, cradle, display base, and limited-edition certificate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Corgi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67930308706406,"sku":"AA36618","price":53.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0277\/5197\/2966\/files\/AA36618-01.jpg?v=1793919064","url":"https:\/\/motorcityclassicsinc.com\/products\/lockheed-p-38j-lightning-virginia-marie-new-guinea-1944-aa36618","provider":"Motor City Classics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
