"Brief road trip" to Houston? From MI that's got to be 1500 miles. Yikes! Drive safely. Looking forward to seeing this build.jssel wrote:Marking my turf for the Blitz. Airfix NT P51D in Canadian markings. Pictures posted when I return from a brief road trip to Houston TX.
If you've got some extra time, G&G Model Shop is the "oldest model shop in Texas".
Re: Jeff's near Artic Mustang
I flew into Houston to visit family in Sealey. Just a week long vacation (holiday). Made up an all Canadian play list. No doubt forgetting someone but at least sounds important to me. If I get to G&G I can UPS a package home. Thanks for the tip. 61f and a very brisk north wind was not what I was expecting.

Oh yes. Just checked in with SWMBO. A light dusting of 4 inches of snow over night. 8f outside air temp. So sunny and 61 is great.

Watching and waiting with baited breath
I hope you'll have another P51 in the stash for the GB layer in the year?

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing
