No worries ... no bitching from my side ... only constructive criticism; I guarantee it! According to Maletin's fuel consumption table for Warbirds FH, the J variant of the P-38 has the exact same endurance as the L variant (01h : 15 min at 100% throttle for both the P-38J and the P-38L). Considering that both variants had essentially the same engines, and that the P-38L's internal fuel capacity was 410 US gal vs the 300 US gal for the P-38J, this congruence seems odd. Can this be changed accordingly in the next FH version?
The 1010 Model 422-81-14s included three production blocks. The first block consisted of ten service test P-38J-1-LOs. These were quickly followed by 210 P-83J-5-LOs with two 55-US gallon additional fuel tanks in the leading edge space previously occupied by the intercoolers and thus restoring maximum internal fuel capacity to 410 gallons (1010 gallons with drop tanks). http://home.att.net/~jbaugher1/p38_13.html
