                        Mojave desert is that where death valley is,i remember reading the hottest temp ever recorded was in the death valley.........
                        The temp here in Bris is not the real prob for me it's the humidity that gets you usually around 90% in summer,really stuffy thick air..........
                        I thank Fujitsu for making split system air conditioners,i grew up in Tassie so's i'm used to snow in the winter and no heat in summerSmile [:)]

                        Yeah I grew up about an hour and a half from Death Valley, Stove Pipe Wells in DV is where it reaches 135f. The sand doenst even like being there. Parts of the deep valley are the lowest points in the States... some 200ft below sea level. No humidity there Wink [;)]

                        Well I don't know about anybody else but I'm definitely still in!

                        I know things have died in the backside around here since Blackwolf left, but I signed up for this build and I intend to finish it. At the moment I still have a couple of weeks of work left on my Spitfire for the Aussie GB, which is due to finish at the end of Oct, but once that is done it's on to the Mustang.

                        I have the Tamiya (P-51B) kit, Aeromaster decals; Eduard PE set & paints sitting on my workbench waiting for me to begin construction.

                        Jeff, what happened to your Stang, nothing fatal I hope?

                        Cheers

                        Well now that I kept ya in suspence. I was putting the black stripe decals on the top of the wing and applied the microset to settle them and left it for a day. Something reacted with something and I had this white crusty, lard looking junk all over the decal after a day. I used a tooth to scrape it off and the decal disintergrated on me. So at the moment I have no black wing stripes because I scraped them off.

                        Thanks Chris. Back in early July I developed a sorta rare form of Shingles ( Chicken Pox Virus ) in my left eye. My regular doctor sent me to a cornea specialist. Tests showed my vision had gone from 20/20 ( corrected ) to 20/400. I was within a few days of going blind in that eye, but thanks to the Doctor & modern medicine I have pretty much recovered. Last tests showed vision to be at 20/25, though it probably won't totally recover due to some permanent scarring. Lack of clear vision & loss of depth perception made modeling almost impossible for several weeks, but it's doable now.

                        Regards, Rick

                        ok the stang is complete do I let it loose or put it in the barn?

                        See if it will pass the test.

                        Livin a little dangerous are we GlenS? What with the tub of water and all.
                        Looks great, however

                        Finally got the interior painted and all - crappy pict, but hey whadda you want from bad lighting and a 4megapixel camera at close range. The IP is a mixture of the true details set and PE set from parts. The seat is PE and I added an aluminum tube and PE part for the flare tube by the throttle control. Also some eduard placards. The floor is a combo of kit/true details and PE.
