Direct submission to Outerzone.
Supplementary file notes
Build manual, complete 10 pages text inc 1 layout drawing, thanks to RB.

ScaleType: This (oz1095) is a scale plan. Where possible we link scale plans to Wikipedia, using a text string called ScaleType.
If we got this right, you now have a couple of direct links (above) to 1. see the Wikipedia page, and 2. search Oz for more plans of this type. If we didn't, then see below.
Notes:
ScaleType is formed from the last part of the Wikipedia page address, which here is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_P-38_Lightning
Wikipedia page addresses may well change over time.
For more obscure types, there currently will be no Wiki page found. We tag these cases as ScaleType = NotFound. These will change over time.
Corrections? Use the correction form to tell us the new/better ScaleType link we should be using. Thanks.

Hello, the first photo is of the box label from the Marutaka kit, the second photo is one of the first Royal ads for the model, I can't remember what magazine it was in and the last photo is of the decal sheet [more pics 003-005].JeffGreen_LasVegas - 27/02/2018
I would be interested in buying, and would love to build the plane, if it can be converted to electric. Do you have the appropiate conversion drawings, etc?

Bill, there's nothing here to buy. All we have here is PDF downloads, and they are all free. Maybe check through the FAQ page for a quick overview of how this works.

I'm so glad to find this here. I have this kit, but the fish moths have had a field day with the plans and build instructions and the box is very much worse for ware. Maybe now I can finally build it.

The Royal P-38 kit was introduced in 1968. The add picture is from a 1968 new products article in Model Airplane news.

Got it. Have set the date to 1968 now. Many thanks.

Notes
* Credit field
The Credit field in the Outerzone database is designed to recognise and credit the hard work done in scanning and digitally cleaning these vintage and old timer model aircraft plans to get them into a usable format. Currently, it is also used to credit people simply for uploading the plan to a forum on the internet. Which is not quite the same thing. This will change soon. Probably.
Scaling
This model plan (like all plans on Outerzone) is supposedly scaled correctly and supposedly will print out nicely at the right size. But that doesn't always happen. If you are about to start building a model plane using this free plan, you are strongly advised to check the scaling very, very carefully before cutting any balsa wood.
