Cool. Interesting that the guy who was there called the top colour grey and we strive to get the colour as "Synthetic Haze Blue" though my understanding is that this paint faded rapidly
It could be the original Haze paint which if I remember correctly was a fine pigment white which was sprayed over a black base coat at
various thickness, which gave it varying degrees of a bluefish hue which I suppose some one could call gray
 
815 - Original B&W 616 Aircraft Negative - P-38L Lightning 44-25605 DROOP SNOOT | eBay

P-38L-5-LO, 44-25605

Looking for pic of P-38L 44-25605

This particular P-38 was modified by the Hindustan aircraft factory for General George E. Stratemeyer. It had a glazed nose like the droop snoot, but a special seat for the general. It also had a leather walled "office" with a thermos holder. I have been looking for a picture of this plane. I haven't seen any, nor have I heard what became of the plane. Anyone have any info?

Thanks
