Oh no it wasn't noted for its agility, nor was it as fast as the P-38. It was massive, heavy and designed for long duration aloft.

armed with 4ea 50.cal machine guns and 4ea 20mm cannon. This fighter was one of the two fighters that used tricycle landing gear, the other being the P-39 Aircobra

Trikes in the P- series during WW2 were the P-38 Lightning, P-39 Airacobra, P-61 Black Widow and the P-70 Havoc.

An excellent model, well displayed and photographed.
