That's a P-61 "Black Widow". It was a heavy night fighter used by the US during WWII. The one in your picture is odd in that it's not painted black.

There were quite a few that were not painted black, esp in the PTO.

That's an Italian one. Can't think of the name.

The black widow the p38 and the p82 were like my favorites at Dayton museum.

I built a model of the P-61 that I gave my son years ago. It was one of his favorites and he took good care of it until one of his cousins broke it during a sleepover.
