Quite a while ago I decided to see what I could do about improving the default P-51D pilot. I thought his headgear looked too much like a 1930's leather football helmet than WWII flying headgear, and I also added more detail to the pilot's face, jacket, and life vest.
After Vraciu took the last P-51D slot, I switched over to working on the '51B and eventually produced a different pilot for each of the 3 '51B skins I was working up. The pilot of Beantown Banshee even bears a good resemblance to the real pilot, Felix Rogers. They are all quite a bit more detailed that the original pilot, and I hoped this would be another way to really set my skins apart.
