IDF lights on P-51 Mustangs...

Concerning the IDF-lights on starbord wing I noticed that those lights often interfere with the stars and bars on the same place according to instructions. What would be correct?

if the lights interfer with the bar of insignia on B & C models, it's not the case on D model because the ID lights are near the wing tip(lights are at 196" from a/c centerline on B&C and at 207" on D model)

the 35" D insignia had it center at 24" from wing tip splice line(or 166" from a/c centerline)

Thanks,

That helped a lot. And the good thing now is that the i insignia is on the correct place as are the lights. Tought I hade a problem to fix...

 

Building the Revell P-51B at the moment and noticed as Dennis picture confirms that the lights are more inboard compared to an P-51D...
