Default Unkown make P38 Lightning

Hi all.
Is there anyone out there who can help me out with identifying the make of my P38.
It has a wingspan of 72.5" and is powered by a pair of .35 engines.

It's appears to be more sport scale and has balsa sheeted foam wings which detach just outboard of the engine pods.
Any help would be really appreciated.
I am going to try and get some photo's up over the next few days to help with the identification.

Thanks

Probably Wing Manufacturing, with slightly longer wings?

Those engines musta been small for a bird that big!

Thanks very much for that.
Looks like that could well be the one.
I'm off to work now so will double check all the specs and dimensions against that link when I get home in the morning.

I built a Wing Mfg P-38 and used 2 Magnum .40s. It was a rocket, even with 3-blade props.

Hi guys thanks for all the help here.
I've had a good look over the specs and checked the construction and everything points at this being the right manufacturer.
Here's hoping that Wings can ship to the UK.
