If it is half as good as the 109 CD it will be a 'must have' for both enthusiasts, restorers and modellers, keep up the good work !

Thanks Dave!

As I get reviews back I'll post them on the web site www.buffiesbest.com. I put the same effort and dedication into these CD's as I do my models, and am very proud of the quality of these first two CD's. Wether you're a modeler, historian or just a Walter Mitty airplane nut like myself - you'll like this Restorations Illustrated series.

The next volume will cover the P-51 Mustang and include restorations of an A model, numerous D models, and an H model - and will also have some cool photos of Enforcers as well. As will the other series - I'd love to hear from museums and restoration outfits that would care to share their photos, as well as from modelers so I can have more killer built-ups showcased. If there are any former P-51 pilots willing to share their stories and photos, I'd love to hear from you as well. Perhaps another reunion visit for 2005? Time has a way of stealing our heros, and my 'mission' is to honor those that flew and worked on these amazing airplanes.

Cheers!

Derek
