Man, I can't believe you would waste our time with this stuff.
Everyone knows the Ant-Glare Panel was a different shade and extended all the way up to the upper air intake.

OK. I give up. Other than "It's a P-51 after an engine swap", can someone provide details about this P-51 mod? When, who, why, did it fly, etc?
