KennethLooks great 👍 Which colour have you used for the interior? Looks remarkably spot-on for what I've read/seen described as „Curtiss Interior Green".

Guy Rump kirjailijaA little about the pilot Flight Leader Charles Older:
Charles Older joined the Flying Tigers in China with 3 Pursuit Squadron prior to the USA's entry into the Second World War. He had qualified as a pilot in the US Marine Reserves but resigned his commission to volunteer for the Flying Tigers. He was credited with 10 "kills" and by the end of the war was a Lt Col. In 1950 he flew B-26s on active duty during the Korean War.
In 1952 he studied law at the University of Southern California and became a judge in 1967, appointed by then governor, Ronald Reagan.
His most famous trial was that of Charles Manson.
He died in 2006 at the age of 88.
