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!

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

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.
