Don't worry, the pilots are always the last thing to be added.

I have to finish re-building the VC before they can fly it.

I'm really excited about this project. Should be great!

I know it's early on, but if there's any appetite for repaint ideas, I'm thinking the Mallard would be great for some short airline runs in the 1950s from Miami to Havana (pre Castro), Key West, etc.

Imagine this concept ....





... only in this period ....






... just food for thought!

Great looking bird - will be a winner for sure.

What I want to know is will you do the Hello Kitty paint for this one?

 

[Firekitten]

Oh that's a good idea...


I was going to go for Frozen though...

Oh, dear me, no! A classic aircraft deserves a classic paint job, and you can't find a better classic than "Hello, Kitty"!
