Detail closeups:	Tiny figures are not my forté, but I do my best. The wheels on the wing "shoulders" are from my scrapbox.	A lesser paint job then the etched brass instrument panel deserved. I added the throttles from a P-39.	Etched brass data plate adds a nice touch! The stick is omitted because it's in the pilot's hands.	Rich Corinthian Leather seat! British Crimson dry-brushed with red.
