I can totally see why they put P-38 graphics on it, since it bears no resemblance whatsoever to a Lightning (or a P-61 Black Widow, for that matter). Either he really got fucked on that paint & bodywork, or he started with a cowl and half a roof. :doh:

The aircraft motif is different and a little cool....in a way, but what's the deal with the yellow headlight bezels? :huh:

 

[Dr.Jass]

It's a P-38 thing (well, actually 44th Fighter Group). The spinners and forward engine cowling were yellow.

The spinners and forward engine cowling were yellow.

They should have shown a side-by shot to give a hint for the ugly yellow. :doh:

Well, to be faithful they would've had to do the bullet nose in yellow, too, I think.
