At least they've got the crash trucks in the right place, so that when some Lieutenant smacks into it, and lands the burning wreckage on top of the entire firefighting team, they get to see if their DC really is better than during WWII.

What's the flashing R-in-a-box on the right? Radar altimeter? Sink rate? I'm guessing the former...?

Altimeter (in feet,) in the box, with an indicator for altimeter source, in this case, radar altimeter. Above it is the vertical speed, in feet/min.

Examples of destructive devices include firearms with a bore over one half of an inch.

I guess its legal as long as you make it muzzle loading though.

You can legally register DDs in states that allow it. Live ammo would be subject to a tax stamp as well, though. For each cartridge.

By modern I mean made with tools & techniques from right now not adding poo poo that would change it into something else.

Even disregarding the issues of actually using such an aircraft in a combat role, airplanes aren't build THAT much differently than they were then. It would still be a riveted aluminum monocoque. The costs of replicating the production tooling and infrastructure alone would dwarf the value of anything you might save through redesign and modern materials.
