MotoArt had the opportunity to acquire the original aircraft skin from the restoration of 44-83887, an ultra-rare prototype XP-82 piston powered fighter. The Twin Mustang was built with an audacious design and a specific purpose - to escort a fleet of bombers further than any other aircraft USAF was capable of at the time.
