Lyle, you did a fantastic job on this. I am amazed at how well you finished this. I for one could not get that good a metal finish like you have. Way to go; your first for the year is a great start, setting the bar high for all your subsequent models!

You did a nice job on that Mustang! Well done, Lyle!! I do love those checkered nose/cowl aircrafts.
