Thanks! The original photo is here, for comparison. I could've done a little more perspective work on the fuselage markings, and there really *ought* to be an '001' on the foreground wingtop, but it was getting late and I didn't want to overtinker the whole thing. I am, however, monumentally proud of the WDF roundel on the background wing. Guess those Photoshop classes I took paid off some. :)

And, yeah, it wouldn't be a proper warbird wihtout the pilot name in cursive under the canopy.

Heh, well, they all more or less go back to the P-40. I doubt his VF-1S has one, but to not have one on a Warhawk is, in fact, a crime in ZC space, so. ;)
