Ok lets see if I can Id some of the stuff in MARC compound,

As Tulio has point out Nicar. A-20 which is under restoration in Pima
The first photo is the other A-20 that MARC recovered from PNG next to it is one of the B-26 Fusg.

I think you guys have them twisted round. MARC's PNG A-20G 43-21627 is at Pima. Pima fuselage is full of holes because it was shot up/crash landed and ground crews cut out pieces to patch other planes. http://www.warbirdregistry.org/a20regis ... 21627.html

MARC's Nicaraguan A-20H 44-0020 fuselage is on its landing gear and is displayed at the National Warplane Museum at Geneseo, NY. They describe the story of its recovery pretty good on their website. http://www.1941hag.org/a_20.html

So does anyone know if the hudson[pbo] nose section still exist and if so where, and does the storage yard there , have anything left.

Yes it does its in storage at Barstill Calf. along with other stuff from the MARC compound. As for the storage yard MARC still has alot of stuff in it maybe BDK can give us an update.

That Hudson nose (originally from A-29 41-23419) ended up in Trenton to be used in the restoration on Hudson Mk VI FK466.
I took the attached photo last March. It has since been installed on the fuselage: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set ... 340&type=1

Back in the day we took it apart for transport to beaver falls Pa.circa 91.We didn't know what the serial was back then so I was tasked to clean all the scat out of the cockpit and happened to look the panel over and the tag was still on the panel.I guess the tourons couldn't get to it and rob all the goodies out of it.Someone did steal the control wheel the next day.Thieving bastar ds.

I just found this old thread while surfing the web. That tan and green camo fuselage is the BT-13 mockup of a P-40 for the TV pilot film of Baa Baa Black Sheep". It never made it into the final cut.
I wonder where it is now?

Are you sure that isn't a real P-40 fuselage?

On second look, you are correct. It is a P-40 fuselage. I guess I jumped the gun and was just hoping that was it!

Pretty sure that's a real, later-model (note the fuselage extension aft of where the horizontal is mounted) P-40. Could be a P-40N dressed up as a P-40E for a TV shoot but it isn't the mockup from BBBS.

I looked closer at the pic and its an N-5 or later.The aft plexi has been painted to look like an earlier version E.You can see that sta 8 is solid whereas on the E frame 8 is open.

Speaking of the Hudson/A-29 nose, I also spotted it in the goodie pile at Chino in 2007:
