# I could see making a plastic model of this
if the kits in available scales line everything up!

The perspective needs a bit of foodling if you ever go for a remake.

Penguins actually disprove the Bible. Anyone who had invented them would boast about it, but they don't get a mention.

# Apparently...
The RAF wanted to try them, but not with the superchargers or counter rotating propellers. Which was a bit like wanting a Ferrari but insisting on a 1.0 litre engine to save a few quid.

# Surely
counter rotating props mean two sets of spare engines and many parts? I can see that logistically that would be a problem. You can't just make an engine run backwards.

# True.
I think the point was that the P38 was designed with superchargers and counter rotating props. The RAF insisted on a version with those features removed and found it wanting, cancelling their order. The U.S. then had considerable success with it as designed.

# It was a damn fine 'plane
but just a trifle over-engineered for anyone on a budget.

Edit: In the end a Mustang could do escourt and a Typhoon could do ground attack at half the price.
