Thanks Guys.
more pastel weathering, lower surfaces and added the exhaust stains to the booms, long serving aircraft, so the stains extend back to and lightly over the vertical fins tending towards a Light grey for a good lean fuel mixture and a little brown/black close to the outlets.
MacGuire was very proficient in his knowledge of the P-38 and would have gotten the best performance from his aircraft. with a good fuel mix setting.
Also added a small amount of tape line residue to the engine nacelles just visible in the last pic.

Thanks Guys,
Pastel work done on the lower surfaces now, added another light coat of XF-60 Dark yellow to further fade the Olive drab just a tad.
silver pencil then run over appropriate areas for chipping....and finally a Gloss coat this afternoon....
