Is it me or does the P-38J-25 collector plane not seem to have air brake animations?

The "airbrakes" on the 38J are not actual airbrakes like on the Ju-88 or 87, but "Dive flaps". They only open about 20 degrees or so, as their purpose is to help shove the nose up to recover from a high speed compressibility dive rather than preventing the aircraft from over speeding in a dive. If they are not opening at all however, then that would be a bug.

Thanks Migmadmarine, Sorry I was looking in the wrong place. They work.
