P-38 459Sq twins dragons infos?

[skiner]

Hi all

 

I would like to know if dragons on P-38J were painted inside of the boom of the plane.

Eduard shows on his decals sheet a P-38H outside only!!!!

 

Futhermore on this photo, #11 don't seem to have of dragon inside  ( on the  intake if we zoom).... 

 

 

Well, what do you think? If somebody had a photo it would be so cool

 

Thank you...

Here's an image I just snatched off the WWW. Not real sure if it helps or not, but still a cool photo. I also found a link to this book that may be of some interest to you, assuming it's still available.

Nope, impossible to see in that photo if it was there or not I agree.

The MMP/Stratus book on the Lightning has one 459th FS plane illustrated, but only shows the dragons on the boom exteriors.

Hi Skinner sorry for the fast / short reply.     Had to go .  Glad it helped    I looked at some other photos to. It seems to be no inboard tails. But the photos weren't very  clear.  I like to see your bird finished soon!!!!  My dad and I love P-38E with a Shark Mouth on them.

 

Cheers
