Great picture Lyric.  I've spent lots of time studying photos of '38s and had never noticed the 3 signal lights under the rear of the fuselage before.   

Thanks for posting that.

IIRC the ID lights were fitted to all P-38s, for AH skinners its academic though as that area is stretched horizontally.

Not surprised to hear that.  It's a minor detail though so not a big issue.
