Very nice, it looks like a stock P-51H until you realized that the wheel well doors are farther outboard than normal.  Beautiful job!!

Oh, that works beautifully.  I can imagine several different expeditions using such a vehicle, particularly in the arctic and antarctic regions where that yellow would stand out.

Interesting combination EricR, so is it an Arctic/Antarctic type mission or is it for interplanetary exploration.  It looks right for both applications where it is cold, barren, open terrain.
