IMHO, the B-17 if you meant the background kite.

Just realized the prop blade was blocking the cockpit and at a quick look thought that the cockpit was the clear part above the Mosquito fuel tank

It does look like a wild nose modification until you realize the Mossie's prop is creating the illusion - had me wondering at first, too!

So we don't let this thread die too soon, a couple of pictures down in Snautzer's thread has this picture:

The plate under the exhaust stubs is interesting and not something I've seen before.

Maybe an F9 version of the B 17?
