Plane Type:P-38 Lightning

Racing earthward in a near vertical dive, its turbocharged Allison engines driving the counter-rotating props at full throttle with a 20mm cannon and quad-50’s spitting lead, you’d have a hard time convincing these two Luftwaffe pilots that the P-38 Lightning on their tail was not originally conceived as anything other than a fighter airplane. Originally designed as a bomber-interceptor, it was respectfully nicknamed by the German’s as the “Fork-Tailed Devil” who were bedeviled by this troublesome aircraft from North Africa to Berlin. Miniature art is an important part of any collection and a SmallWork™ is a simple way to either start or add to your collection. Such works are often a collector’s first purchase for the obvious reason, they are less expensive. As single works of art, they can be that final elegant touch in fine décor. At the other end of the spectrum, a wall of miniatures makes for an impressive display of a collector’s unique range of style and interest.
