For those who can appreciate these things....

This is Hang with the what is probably the first stinger tail gun yoke
produced since 1944...

Image

A view of the nose, complete with Bombardier and Navigator...

Image

This is the rear spar from one of Mikes horizontal stabilizers. Oh yeah,
Mike's there too...

Image

A bit of history on that spar - says "Shims not bought! Installed on 1st Ship #". We also found the names of two "Rosies" who signed their work...

Image

This is a re-manufactured stabilizer spar...

Image

Hope you enjoyed them. More to come in September, we hope!

Hey Tom, I do need to get up therer and see yer P-40 :D :D
Greetings Bill, that is some great work going on there 8) . I like the crew members in the nose section :D , they grow too fast though:( I was wondering if you have the first and last names of the Rosie's. would be kinda cool to see if they are still around. Time marches on..
