Not just aircraft, that's fuselage of a bomber sized flying boat, maybe even amphibious. That would take a more serious building than 'normal' aircraft!

Far more beneficial post than a Short Sunderland workers wisecrack, as I often descend in to.
former?::lol:
Former as in less intense than ages 6 thru 30 something.
Sleeping under flight deck catapults of Enterprise cured me. After a small fire (not 1969) we moved aft awhile, under the arresting gear. No improvement.
That's still a large airplane. Larger than a Hercules.

Don't recall such a nose-on view of a P-61; showing the fuselage is far narrower and deeper than assumed.
That is because you are looking at the rear gunner's positionQuote:
