Really quite amazing to see this. I had been under the impresion they had a pile of scrap bits and pieces, seeing a full fuselage like this - and in such a short space of time - really shows the skills and dedication of the guys and girls at that museum. Well done.
It's neat that it won't just be static, but will be a live exhibit, taxiing. Do they have a serviceable Allison?

Actually being a P-40E, it would be great if they paint it as Umslopagaas.

Sure is looking pretty good (apart from the anti-coll beacon on the fin!)

So whats the story? Is the fuse a real one? I know the wing is a replica.
Al: No. Just no. One's enough! (unless you want to put CPT back in the air ;D)
Shorty: Didn't you realise the P40s had Anti Collision lights ? You are slipping matey. ;D ;D ;D

The Hercules is going into it........nah there is a Alison that needs some work but looks in pretty good nick.
The fuse is real and is basically what aeromedia says..other peoples discards ..was in tiny bits and includes many Kittyhawks..so great progress for 12 months work
