It looks neat, but with only 4 left, I couldn't go with a post-war scheme.

The bare metal plane at the back of the line looks to have a different fuselage?

Maybe the F-15 recon model?

Yes. There are photos of it out there (somewhere).

And it sat, mostly disassembled out behind a hanger at a dusty field in Central California for years until it went to the fifth dimension decades ago.

A delightful and colorful modeling idea, except that these are all P-61Cs, and no one to date has produced a C-model P-61. I have some high hopes for Great Wall, though... they have proven they are willing to listen and take suggestions and constructive criticism on board.

There is a slight chance that one of those B-17's is 44-8543 a.k.a. "Chuckie" although back then she was known as "Weather Guinea Pig". She was assigned to the All Weather Flying Service based at Clinton County Airfield in 1948. The airplane in the back looks like an A-26 if you ask me.

I believe Mark was reffering to the 5th aircaft in line, not the one in the far background.

Considering the NMUSAF's P-61 was donated to them by the Boy Scouts of Springfield, Ohio, I wonder if it isn't a former Clinton County aircraft?
