Aftermarket, Stretch a little sprue, strip a little speaker wire,...
First flown in 1932, the Beechcraft Staggerwing was known as the "Cadillac of the sky" mainly because each one was hand finished with mahogany wood, leather seats, and carpeting. When World War 2 started the U.S. government ordered 270 as well as purchasing some 118 from private owners for executive transport. Under the designation UC-43, the Staggerwings hauled around various Generals and Admirals, as well as other V.I.P.'s.
This one will be finished as one of the civilian aircraft pressed into service, so mahogany, leather, and a red carpet is the name of the game.
