Very sharp looking Lightning. Just hope the Red Bull Logo won't be too big.

Regarding the anti-glare panels. Anyone know why there was change from O.D. to black? Were the 38's the only aircraft to do this?

I think that is right for a YP-38, I think I remeber seeing a color shot of one like that.

I noticed that at first at least the XP-38 didn't even have an anit-glare panel.
