P-38 RAAF Cowling Conversion [Help]

Hi all,
So I went ahead and purchased the P-38 (2015) Academy set, but I later found out I already owned one with the same colour/decal scheme. As such, and because I'm an aussie, I decided to purchase the Red Roo RAAF scheme.
Unfortunately, as it turns out, the Academy set (left) has a different engine nacelle intake than the RAAF P-38s had. I'd like to backdate it to the more streamlined nacelle (on the right), however several days of online searching have proven no results. There doesn't seem to be any aftermarket part of this area for a 1:48 P-38.
If anyone has a surplus part, or knows of a service that can produce a custom part, that would be wonderful. At this point the only other option I have is to scratch build it, which I don't feel confident doing.
Any help is appreciated! If you need more info just ask.
