Modelling since 1964, Sputnik was a nickname given to me by my grandmother, and she pronounced it correctly in Russian, sounds like spootnik, from the Cyrillic pronunciation.

Air Cadet, Glider Pilot, Airforce Veteran, Retired, Automotive and Aircraft Refinisher, Graphic Designer, Pinstriper, Sign Painter, Artist, Drummer, Hobby Industry.
Pet peeve...getting a beautiful photo of an accurately restored WWII Warbird, only to see some guy in a “Jet Jockey“ bone dome in the cockpit ruining the whole thing. It’s like an actor playing an Elizabethan role with a watch on their wrist. The only thing it will protect you from is a smack against the canopy during a snap roll. They make faux vintage ones with a leather cover, which I am sure is affordable for a Warbird owner.
I’m a leg man! Hahaha
