OK - let's get the uncomfortable admission out of the way. I purchased the Mustang (without the benefit of seeing this thread) and it is, indeed, an "enhanced" model. While the paint is heavy handed and other signs are fairly plain, I am at a loss to see how the base was removed to replace...

Our very best wishes to you - although friends may be distant, we are here for you!

Like many, it is a question of carving out the time. I'll admit that I usually turn to this group only with questions/problems, because I know that I can count on getting solid G2 for my inquiries.

I feel fortunate to have acquired some pretty decent HTFs - the bigger story is the very accommodating spouse :lol: Great to see other people's collections. I think you are going to have to open those doors for photos ...

My intent has been to have an exemplar of each 1-75 RW plus what I consider to be "essential" variants (green 43A, red 75B, etc.). Total holdings up to about 330 - very close to completion with the only missing exemplar being the 15B. Pardon the reflections - i should have used a non-glare...

Congratulations on getting the work done and published - I know you put a lot of hard work in. I just paid and am looking forward to it!
