P-38 Resource Inquiry

[Bomber_12th]

For the P-38 experts on this forum, or anyone which may have the resources, I am looking to find a clear photo illustrating the shape/outline of the rearview mirror frame, which had a clear fairing over the top of it. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for the help, gentlemen. I was quite surprised at the lack of quality photos I was able to find on the internet, at least within an immediate search, but there are only a couple of restored Lightnings today which actually have the mirror installed. I believe I managed to work out a good outline of the mirror, and will set to work recreating it, having already made the fairing. It won't be destined for a P-38, but rather another aircraft which was retrofitted with the mirror and plexi-fairing.
