      Looks like a bastardized D model. The turtledeck is using metal bows instead of plywood formers. The notched wings don't go with the turtledeck fuselage and weren't out in 1941.

        There was a tubular former mod for the D. It was called a Frizzel fastback. I've seen the prints and a modified frame, didn't look too bad.

          Tim,
          I contacted the owner and according to the serial number he gave me it's an L2-A that looks like someone has tried to modify the rear portion of the fuselage. I will try to get to Nikiski in the next couple of weeks and take a closer look at it.
