Re: Witty P-38 "Dragon Tail"

Did the P-38 actually carry rockets like that -- configured exactly like that? I thought they were all mounted individually under the wings on individual pylons -- like HM's Hellcats? But MB, Speccast, and now witty all have P-38 molds with rockets in the same config? Any "experts" out there?

I recall reading somewhere that the Helcat-style mounts were tested on the P-38 with very unsatisfactory results. Anyone remember the details? The "christmas-tree" was essentially a work-around.
