Very nice Matthias, keep the updates coming. Is that a P-40 in the background? :drink3:

Amazing work and amazing photos as always. Loving the Buchon updates, can't wait to see her in VA Beach!

Does the blue spinner on the TF indicate that it will be a 352nd aircraft?

Breaking News

The team worked nearly day and night the last weeks to reach that goal ..... first roll out of TF-51 #4463473, first engine test and first taxiing test
What a christmas gift for the shop, the team and the costumer

The project started in December 2011 and nearly one year later, after a lot of work, the project reaches the finish line ... well done boys, congrats

Elmar Meier at the controls

and the proud team in front of that beauty

Hi Matthias,

Thanks for the pictures ;-)

Any idea of where this plane will heading after completion ?

There is a rumor that a new P-51 will be heading to France soon, wonder if...

Congratulations to the crew at Meier! I like the illuminated strobe light. One thing I have noticed in the shots is the young age of the restorers, much younger than what you see in the States.

Is that an old Chevy pick-up in the background?
