Thank you for the photo, Jack, it is nice to see her with a bit of paint added. I am looking forward to having another example of my favorite aircraft type back in the air again. On youtube there is a video of this aircraft undergoing a run-up test not too long ago, but unfotunately the quality isn't too good.

So, after this one flies, what will be the next early or non-bubble canopy Mustang to fly? The only other ones I know about will be Kermit's A model, the Collings foundation A-36 and Friedkin's A-36 in "re-restoration". Any others out there that we don't know about being restored to flying condition?

This is something the Paul family can be VERY proud of

It is nice, and it's absolutely beautiful! It looks like they've painted it in flat paint as well. I'm a sucker for flat paint, because it adds so much more realism to the restoration. I know it's a HUGE pain in the ass to maintain and clean, but I do appreciate the hard work it takes for this!

That's one heck of a nice paint job. I'd almost have to say that it's one of my favourites.

It seems like the early WWII paint schemes are starting to come back. I like it!

Cheers,
