It amazes me how fast AirCorps Aviation rebuilt the rear fuselage/empennage/tail, and the aircraft now has a working tailhook and very accurate looking faux-machine guns mounted on each side of the instrument panel too (housing the limited avionics). Last count, TFL has had three different projects with the goal of completion being Oshkosh 2017 - the Zero (AirCorps Aviation/Tri-State Aviation), the P-51C (AirCorps Aviation/Odegaard Wings), and the Bearcat (Ezell).

My understanding is that Blayd Corp originally made three sets of Zero parts, one of which was built up into the aircraft that TFL now has. One of the unused sets of parts has now been used to build up a new rear fuselage/tail section which has been fitted to replace the one chewed up in the takeoff accident with the Corsair.
