We sent people for hangar aprons for the mechanics and red oil for the lanterns.

Should be within the realms of possibility.
Can't quite tell if the nose armour is still there, or if it has rusted away sufficiently to allow for improved performance.

This seems to have been lightened considerably.
I suspect the CoG is a bit off, though...

I am not sure if the recirculated air heating system will be sufficient in this model. Might have to install a performance destroying gas heater, just like the Brits did to get out of their contract.

I'm not sure that the new style nose gear will retract fully.

Don't forget to oil the magnetic bearings or you are going to have issues with too much yaw.

Not sure what's going on here, but I suspect they're removing the heater and IFF...

I want to see the grasshopper-legs on that thing. That's gotta be some stalky landing-gear.

Do you think they will leave the doors off as well?
Surely the weight reduction will make the P-39 a 500mph fighter?
They are looking for the secret to its astonishing success...

They look lost!

It's obvious that if they left the top deck off, they could easily fit a Griffin in there with room to spare - so now we're left wondering if those treacherous British were trying to sabotage Larry Bell's world-beater.
First the heater issue and now this shocking revelation!
Searching for that missing 7/16" six point socket!
