Staga look again no fourbladed prop on ours and the tails are radically different.

Hobo if you look carefully you'll see it's a link to pic of P-63 with fourbladed prop and bigger tail with bottom fin. I added it so its easier to see differencies between those two without need to measure its lenght etc   ;)

Another hint as to what it is, is the lack of the large scoop underneath that is present on the P-63.

Damn you brady....I figured a P-39 was bait and it had to be something else.
