CAF P-63F in the shop.... Steve Dickey showed me some of the original factory inspector stamps in both the wing and fuselage. The fuselage has many hand written marks saying P-63E-1. Also the wings had some interesting features...... it appears that some of the ammunition fed from the outside of the wing, including the wingtips..... notice the square feed chute in the wing panel..... more on this later...
