Thanks Jack Cook. From the looks of those rudders, looks like he may have "tweaked the frame" a tad.

I think it was, but not from the factory. The P-70 was basically an A-20 Havoc.

Thanks mustangdriver,

I wasn't sure if the P-70 was factory built or just converted A-20s out in the feild.

Tally ho,
