Thank you gents.
Not sure what thing is either Ian ... could just be the angle , they have a little door that shuts after the nose doors close.
Its not the new one Ian ... its the old (Rick Piper) model.

Very hard to tell isn't it .. strange I never picked up on it before :unsure: It maybe the angle and the texture , which is more than likely

It is hard to tell from a distance . But the old one has the best sound ... no question.

I'll have to dig up the old RP model , one thing I did find today was Al's four very unique photos from 1968/69.

It could be the nose u/c drag strut, which I got from an accident report. Scroll to page 9

'Propliner' is actually short for 'Proper airliner, with big rumbly radials'
