Know what you mean.. if you think they're great (and of course they are) wait until (if and or when) they produce... grandkids are the absolute best! All the fun and none of the pain (well mostly none... )

Think it's an engine fairing on a multiengine aircraft... seen looking forward from the wing's trailing edge?

I'm going to say C-47 though I believe the wing root to fuse fairing is much larger...

It's not an engine fairing, Stratocruiser or C47. Neither is it a Zero. First clue, it's twin-engined.

huh...something just doesn't look right about that photo...it appears to be the wing root, but those rivets on the trailing edge don't look right...you've tossed out a dang good challenge, Terry!!

This is gonna take some work...

Another clue, repeated from the first post - what you are seeing, is not what you probably think it is!

Yes, it looks like a trailing edge of a wing or horizontal stabilizer but the split in the upper and lower surface as you look toward the lower right of the photo is confusing me. It could be russian but the paint isn't applied thickly enough based on a single Mig 23 I once saw. This appears to be a beautifully applied paint scheme. I'm gonna need more help or just stand on the sidelines rooting for the competition.
