Is the front part of this a mock-up? the engine cowl looks rather
out of shape, and the spinner seems to be attached to the cowl (virtually no clearance to allow for rotation). The attached photo of a similar aircraft, from Airliners Net, looks a bit more realistic in that area. -- Mike Mackenzie (AVCOM Services) Brisbane, AUSTRALIA Remove "XYZ" from the "Reply to" address when responding by email. |

So probably not a mock-up, but a combination of damage & inexpert restoration. |
