This very large airframe panel which is complete and not damaged very much by the impact of the crash the part which comes with lots of green camouflage paintwork remains which is very late war made because there is no undercoat primer just top coat on to the aluminium with aluminium and steel rivets which have corroded in different colours red and green.This is a square straight edge panel which is aluminium made. The part still very solid and not braking up or falling apart and has been very well cleaned the part is 19 inches long by 6 half inches wide in size and a nice one for display or any collection and a lovely find from this famous fighter bomber and a real one off find which i have never had before in this condition.
