Take a look at a map while you are planning. The IPMC is in Sterling which is not far from the Udvar-Hazy Center. Natural history is down town. Metro is your friend and the various museum sites will give Metro information. Note open and close times for the various museums since this is off season. Metro is your friend even if you have your own wheels. Parking a car can be fun and provide opportunities for practicing those special four letter words. Although you are planning for off season there really isn't any off season for parking spaces down town.

MY Daughter would argue that the F14 and F4s are the most beautiful in the Museum.
I think the Shuttle is one of the best things there. I've been to the IPMC twice...and to the Udvar Hazy Center twice. https://www.flickr.com/photos/659362...57651685086909 Our own Anne McCombs works there (as a Restoration Specialist). Every year she hosts some sort of special trip through the Museum. Its the highlight of my visits to the IPMC...LOL sorry Don, Pete, Alan, etc This is one reason I want my Daughter to come with me to the IPMC. But I have also never seen the orignal Air & Space Museum, so I want to do that. And the Natural History Museum is what really sparked my Daughter's interest in going. ..... Oh, and thanks to Anne, the Shuttle was not "tantalizingly out of reach". Standing inside the wheel wells was especially exhilarating. Anne? when do i get to go in the cockpit?!

I am working on a Texan and a Mustang Tee.
Just haven't settled on the actual model yet. I was going to do an RCAF Mustang...but not sure I would have picked the Winnipeg. I prefer a more generic RCAF Mustang, like the City of London. Nice red wing tips, no specific name plates. What do you think? Problem is, I have to build the kit. I already have the City of London, and City of Hamilton Mustangs built. So, those I can shoot some photos of and start creating the artwork. I don't have the Winnipeg Mustang built. If it has to be Winnipeg, then I guess I could...

I won't be too picky Dave. As long as it's an RCAF Mustang, I'm in.

well...I totally forgot about all the Mustang artworks I have done for my covers.
Of course I have a City of Winnipeg (artwork) that I can work from... It doesn't have the red wings which I like, but the blue and yellow trim (on Tail and Spinner) look good so it might make a good Tee shirt design.

If you want to display(which we welcome) and if this year a trip to Udvar-Hazy can be authorized, then you can tag along, so nothing is stopping you from joining the fun at the Hampton Inn & Suites in Sterling VA this November 3-5 2017

Repost!
My last post got lost in the recent Forum reboot, so I'll say it once more... BIG THANKS to those of you that have visited my new website (lots of traffic!!! I'm happy to see) I hope you all enjoying the recently added KoolWheelz models...there are more on the way! and BIGGER THANKS to those who have picked up a new Paper Modelin' Tee! Unfortunately, shirt sales are nowhere near what I need. The shirts are primarily a fund raiser... I mentioned that I hope to plan a trip to Washington DC area, this Fall, for me and my Daughter. She wants to visit some of the Smithsonian Museums and I'd like to make an appearance at the 2017 IPMC. But it all comes down to funds...of which, I don't have enough. And that explains the fundraisers. So...please consider picking up a custom tee Shirt Paper Model T-Shirts or go buy a model Paper Model Shop Home or just make a donation paypal.me/airdave My thanks for all your support, and your help (in making our trip happen).
