As it sez, anything from the various Ryan companies.
Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis was designated the Ryan NYP (New York To Paris), and an identical copy was
built at the request of the Japanese, and it turns out that the NYP-2 J-BACC* was fitted with a windscreen at some point.
A photo I'd never seen before from the J-BIRD Japanese aircraft register book.

*The J-BACC registration was later re-used on a Bf 108. :)

The STA with canopy looks interesting...

So too the windscreen arrangement on J-BACC. A local mod perhaps?

Yep, when delivered it was a twin for Lindy's plane, it also went through different paint schemes
in its life.

One could really fool people if you modelled it.

Where would one find people twisted enough to do so? ;)
