Maybe not. But you may want to see if the invasion of Sicily had invasion stripes required.

With a north African paint scheme, you may get lucky enough to be somewhat accurate. 

Otherwise, just go with it because you like it lol. It really only matters to you in the end.

I do wonder about D-Day invasion stripes on a desert scheme.

Why's going on there, Phil?

Judging by the 1/32 Beaufighter recently featured in FSM the invasion stripes are wide and bold.

 

I would like to find that review. Thats a Mk. 10, notice the tailplanes have the upward dihedral.

The stripes would be 18" each, although it's a multi-engine it is similar in that way to the P-38.

 

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

If that is a 1974 dated kit I'm fairly certain that is the first release of that kit. Looks good so far. Keep at it.

That is a very old kit, from 1974.

It's a Mk. 1, I think an F.

One early spotting feature is the flat rear stabs- later marks starting with Mk. 6 had a prononced dihedral.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
