I know it won't help you now, but I will let you know the next time they have one, and if you have other questions, I will try to get the info for you.
By the way, your English is near perfect as far as I can tell ... I would never have guessed you were not a native English speaker

Thank you very much aymodeler. I wish I could have an aviation museum doing open cockpit days, or even just one with a P-47, but, as I said, no P-47s on display here in Italy...
Well, at least I'll be ready for the following build, a Reggiane Re-2005, since no complete planes of this type exist anywhere.
Andrea.
