Description

P-38M Night Lightning Airplane ModelP 38 Night Lightning fighter model. Early in 1943, at least two unidentified P 38Fs were modified in the field by the Fifth Air Force as single seat night fighters by fitting an SCR540 radar with yagi antennae on the nose on both sides of the central nacelle, and above and below the wings. In order to make room for the radar, two of the 0. 50 inch machine guns and their ammunition boxes had to be moved forward. Three P 38Js were also modified in the

P-38 Night Lightning fighter model. Early in 1943, at least two unidentified P-38Fs were modified in the field by the Fifth Air Force as single-seat night fighters by fitting an SCR540 radar with yagi antennae on the nose on both sides of the central nacelle, and above and below the wings. In order to make room for the radar, two of the 0.50-inch machine guns and their ammunition boxes had to be moved forward. Three P-38Js were also modified in the field as experimental night fighters.

However, these modifications were all single seaters, and it was found that the flying of the plane and the operation of the radar was too much of a job for just one person. Consequently, Lockheed attempted to adapt the P-38L as a two-seat night fighter. In 1944, Lockheed converted P-83L-5-LO Ser No 44-25237 as a two-seat night fighter, with the radar operator sitting aft of the pilot under a raised section of the canopy. The aircraft was fitted with an AN/APS-6 radar in an external radome underneath the nose, relocated radio equipment and anti-flash gun muzzles.

This modification was successful, and provided the USAAF with a night fighter having a top speed of 406 mph at 15,000 feet as compared to only 369 mph at 20,000 feet for the Northrop P-61A Black Widow. Consequently, the Army issued a contract change calling for the Lockheed Modification Center in Dallas to convert 80 additional P-38L-5-LOs into P-38M twin-seat night fighters (some sources give 75, but 80 serials are identified). They were painted glossy black overall. These were just entering service when the war ended. The P-38M saw operational service in the Pacific in the last few days of the war. It was an effective night fighter with very little performance penalty over the standard single-seat Lightning.

Mahogany Wood. Scale: 1/32. Wingspan 19 1/2 inches, Length 14 1/2 inches.

Effective
I normally do not have oily skin, however lately my forehead and nose have been super oily and it's driving me crazy! Maybe I overdid it with tons of new skincare I've been trying out. I recently got the Thayer's milky toner and I love it so so much, but I thought I should try this one instead because my face gets greasy halfway through the work day lately. I've been using this after washing my face before bed and when I wake up and I think it is working so well to reduce the oily skin. It's also this really unique jelly texture and feels cool and smooth on my skin

Clean product
This is a great value for the price you pay for the product. It’s easy to use. It does have a gel type consistency, That’s very easy to put on your face. It does not have any lingering smell or odor. And it does a nice job of helping to absorb extra oil on my face.

Good for oily skin/not overly drying!
Love this!! My skin actually feels a lot less oily during the day and it doesn’t dry my skin out either. The smell is a tiny bit weird but it doesn’t really bother me and it dissipates quickly after applying.
