That would look great in the museum's new display area, right next to that gorgeous scratchbuilt (1/12?) Corsair model!

Any idea when it arrived, and better yet, how the heck did they get it out of the museum!?!? :shock: A friend of mine inspected the place not long ago and figured they would have to knock a hole in the exterior wall and lower the cockpit out by crane. My guess is that they found a much easier way.
