Just a bit of trivia I would be interested in if anybody knows.
I have found it curious that the MAW Fiat Br.20 model is flown from the right hand seat instead of the traditional left side as I am used to. I know that often times back then the senior officer did not actually fly the aircraft because they were occupied with other responsibilities. Is this the case that is simulated with this model or was there some other reason the pilot was starboard?

That's interesting! All the Regia Aeronautica bombers were flew from the left, with the copilot on the right. I think it's one of those mistakes so blatantly obvious you don't notice. Incidentally, the Br.20 is the only Italian plane not modelled by an Italian modeller!:mixed-smiley-010:
