those are amazing, hours of work there, well done.

When young had a model Mustang that I converted to Fahey first one, it was easy as was white to start with and got BOAC stickers from model planes and bigger wheels, stripes etc from other models, not sure but could still be at mums, must look.

Here are PDL I and PDL II together. PDL I was made from a standard Mustang to which Tony scratch built the flares from plastic card, scratch built the interior, and added new wheels etc. PDL II is from a kit of Charlie Kemp's famous IMSA Mustang II from which Tony then made an entire new front from scratch. Is that about right Tony?

Thanks ERC.............The only one I have WIP pics of is the Stanton. Might give you an idea. The Lycoming was built by the same method.
