1/72 Spitfire

[Stuart]

One of my goals is to greet strangers on the street, which usually gets a funny look, but what happened to our manners? My other goal is to bring back pilot figures to model aircraft builds. What’s wrong with having a pilot inside the cockpit?

I'm with you on the Manners thing Bruce - they seemed to have vanished years ago...

I do like a pilot in a model but I can't always be bothered to paint them - most of my builds have one though.

Just wear a nice proper hat, and tip it to the women as you pass on by...

Good advice about hats! Although the type of proper hat is important. In Chicago I had a grey fedora kinda like Dick Tracy but I’m not sure what I was going for... “big city boho” look, maybe? I can see you in a good Borsino hat with a trendy tiny feather, a touch of real class!

[Stikpusher]

Fedoras are always a class act. But there is always the classic Stetson as well....

I love it when the decals start going on!

Oh... well, simply exquisite work, Stuart. Exquisite work. I will write that one more time: bloody brilliant. You really know your aircraft and your decals came out so well!

Thanks Bruce - a few more went on this morning. Hopefully should have this one done by the end of the week.
