..... though it could be Don Draper, off on a secret trip connected with his mysterious past ....

Can't see if he's wearing a Brooks Bros hat ......

No, it's definitely a Peter jackson suit and he's bald so it's not Don.
I made it 1958 so he would have been back from Korea then and creating his new life in New York...

the Arado 196 looks good in yellow, and the cab passenger arrangement is brilliant
(looks a bit like the Tintin Arado)

There's a Tintin Arado?
When it was painted but before I put the decals on I did think it reminded me of Tintin for some reason.
I read all the books as a kid so it must have imprinted on my subconscious.

And thanks for all the nice words folks.

Ah, right!

Easyline eh ?

Love the pilot ! Does he sing to you ? ( for a small fare increase

)

Very nicely done, and it looks awesome in those colours.

No Capt, it's Eric Presley not Elvis. While being as talented as his brother Eric has an unfortunate speech impediment meaning his rock 'n' roll career was cut short after his debut single Blue Thuede Thoeth made him an unfortunate laughing stock.
He still refuses fares to Seaford or Sorrento...

Thanks Eric. Definitely an Ar 196 eh. That's what I love about Herge's drawing - his planes and cars are "right".

Great build, well done.
