Milviz P-38L Ruff Stuff 2024-06-13

This is a repaint of the Milviz P-38L. "Ruff Stuff" is a Lockheed P-38J "Lightning". Originally built in 1945, she was never deployed and survived the war without ever seeing combat service. She was purchased from war assets administration, Altus, OK by James L. Harp of Aurora, IL in July, 1946, then went on to fly as Bendix racer #95 until 1955. She changed hands several times. Then during a restoration completed in 1995 she was fitted with the "E" model nose, which was the 4 - .50 cal machine gun and one 20mm cannon configuration for fighter combat duty during WWII. Repaint by Tom Stovall, based on the paint kit by Milviz.
