Default RE: KMP SBD Dauntless *NEW pics*

I have never had a warbird in all my years of flying but looking to get my first. This is a very nice looking plane and since I can’t find a T-28 Trojan this size I’m taking a good look at the Dauntless. I am not familiar with all the markings on warbirds so what does the #45 tell you on the fuse and cowl? On the KMP website the fuse length is not listed. Is this one going to be like most warbirds and need a lot of nose weight? I’m looking at running a G26/EI on the business end. I have had mechanical retracts before but never air operated. Down the line I’ll probably be asking about the do’s & don’ts of hooking up all the lines, valves, etc.
