Just had a P51 Mustang fly in front of the cabin here at the lake about 15 minutes ago. He was about 200 feet above the water. I heard him but couldn't get to my camera fast enough for a picture. Boy was he a sight to see! If anyone can post a picture feel free to do it. He comes thru here every...

I have to use a lot of pressure with my foot to push down on the accelerator to give my deuce fuel to give it forward momentum. My foot gets tired keeping it pushed down. Is there something I can do like installing a spring thats less stiff? Anyone have a suggestion? Hope this isn't a stupid...

This replica no longer in production since 2001 is nicely detailed. I changed the .30 cal Browning for a .50 cal Browning and added a figure manning the gun. Enjoy!
Finally brought in my M35A2 "Cheechako" home from town where it's been since November when it was used for "Toys for Tots". It's nice tgo have it at the cabin again. Had three steep hills to bring it up, but it was chained up on the front. The trip went well and the truck performed as it...
