| Creosotewind: They used Beech AT-10s and Cessna AT-17s as near as I can find. Hopefully one of my cousins will have a picture. I haven't found any color pictures - yet. |

| Blackland Air Base, now Waco Municipal. It was an advanced training base for 2 motor. He flew a C-46. The second trainer was a Vultee BT-13. I don't know which trainer he used for twin engine.

| Do you know where he got his flight training? That may help with the color scheme.

| Thanks. That's the only picture I have. I've asked my cousins if they have anything and am waiting. |

| Air Corp planes were painted with an aluminum lacquer to protect the aluminum metal. However being 1944, the plane may have been painted an overall chrome yellow so it could be better seen from a distance. That's why the trainer planes were nicknamed "Yellow Peril" because of their color and the novice pilots within. Looking forward to seeing the build. |

I need a bit of help for the next build. It's going to be aa PT-19, my uncle's basic trainer. This picture is 1944. I think the plane is unpainted aluminum. What do you think? |

| Every year I buy a $10 senior citizen elk license. It is for a 6" brow tine bull. I figure it's cheap insurance, because you know, if I don't have that when I'm deer hunting, a huge bull will show up and thumb his nose at me. So far so good. No elk.

| Don, well, you know, ducking the China Virus, otherwise keeping a low profile. Ready for Elk season? |

| Incredible work. Can’t stop staring at the landing gear in an attempt to swipe some pointers! |

| Thanks Ray. How are things in Iowa?
Kevin, I may have to use a different image. light deck is more appealing, but you are correct about the polishing. That stuff is opaque. :) |

| Well looking at this image it appears to be below deck maybe getting her wing tanks fitted and perspex polished.. |

| Thanks, Kevin. wish I could do photoshop. I'd love to place this one on a flight deck. |

| Thanks, DD. I've loved this design since it came out when I was a kid. |

| Thank you Ed and Bob.Tonneau cover of the pickup, so it's soft, but the main gear seem to have bent a bit so the tanks are almost scraping the ground. Good thing that it will be hanging. |

| Wonderful Don - super modeling there....(does it need a few pounds of air in the nose-wheel or is that a soft surface?) |
