Thank you David! The figures and the dog are the commissioner's family - painted from verbal descriptions only but apparently I got it pretty close - by lucky hap!

Thanks Peter - maybe another time! I can always tell your comments before I read the name :-) !! Just starting work on another aircraft type for a commission, I think you'll recognise it when I post it...
