it's in nowhere near that kind of shape. It was gone through tip to tail while I was still living over there (around 94-95 IIRC), full exterior repaint, whole nine yards...the hatches are locked and secured, the skin looked in good nick as I recall. Mind you, it's not as pristine as other museum birds, but they do take care of their stuff. I've got a bunch of photos of it I intend to post over on DetailSITE at some point, but to repeat, when last I saw it (October 2000) it was in decent shape.
