Cobra,
I ran across this information and a color profile as I was researching a future project . The color profile shows the nose( with art )separate and left side of the aircraft. P-38J-15 42-103921 ,Lt. R E West, Owi, July 1944 .The color
plate commentary covers this aircraft and mentions his last (P-38L) named for his daughter. The book is Osprey Aircraft of The Aces # 14 P-38 Lightning Aces
of the Pacific and CBI. Hope this info will help.
