I just made a fantastic deal with Grilled Cheese. We live about 45 mins away from each other. So I went down to do some trading. With the price of gas it could have been cheaper to have the planes shipped.

Anyway I got a couple of P-51s from him and a lot of other planes as well. One was the P-47 Jabo that I let slip away from me years ago. That is another story. So I pulled out some old 1/18 prints that I made of the twin Mustang years ago and decided to superimpose a Old Crow on them to see what is involved in a F-82 custom. This would be a lot of work . The pics tell the tell.

Here is one with our new kitty's help. Her name is Ninja.

This custom will not be for the light of heart.

I'd like to see that done.

Hee-hee. I guess I'm what people in the addiction-treating field would call an "enabler".

I remember when I first saw one of these when I was a kid, in a book from the air museum in Dayton. It really catches your attention...

Another cool plane would be the 109Z? I believe that's the twin fuselage prototype. It's my favorite 109 to fly on IL-2.

Yeah, ME-109Z = Flying Cannon. When I'm bored I fly a mini mission where me and my ME-109Z take on a bunch of bombers. It's fun to watch them fold in half after a three second burst.
