May 30, 2011 · The SCR-274-N fit well with the way air traffic control was done in the USA, since it featured a receiver capable of tuning in the Adcock ranges and airfield control towers. So you see SCR-274-N installed in P-38's in the USA and SCr-522 installed in P-38's in the ETO and probably the Med as well.

Sep 9, 2019 · Most P-38’s had in common a “V” shaped antenna aerial that connected from near the tops of the two rear vertical stabilizers. That antenna is then connected into the SCR-274 or SCR-522 radio sets behind the pilot and very visible in the rear canopy section.

The result is an attractive model that definitely captures the essence of The Flying Bulls’ Lightning.

The Lockheed P-38 Lightning is an American single-seat, twin piston-engined fighter aircraft that was used during World War II. Developed for the United States Army Air Corps (USAAC) by the Lockheed Corporation, the P-38 incorporated a distinctive twin-boom design with a central nacelle containing the cockpit and armament.

Feb 21, 2020 · Does anyone have any good references or information on the antenna layout and connections on P-38’s? Or if they even all had them? I’ve seen a build or two that included them and I like it as an above and beyond type of detail. However, I’m questioning if …

Jan 26, 2021 · Can anyone confirm the wire antenna arrangement on the P 38 H ? I have both the new 1/48 Tamiya kits and am currently building the H model. The box art for the F/G model shows a “Y” configuration with a short strand exi…

Feb 6, 2023 · Tamiya didn't include one in the Kit (they did in the P-38J kit). This would indicate she had an SCR-522 Antenna but P-38F's left the Lockheed factory with SCR274N radio's which required an antenna wire to the rear of the ship.
