Hello i'm still on USAF aircrews from the 80s-2000s era : we adapted the F-16 pilot that was designed recently in order to get A-10 and F-15 versions, modifying arms and legs positions : Inside the A-10 : and inside the F-15 : cheers Norbert

Hi Regarding US Navy aircrews, I had gap for the périod mid 70s to early 80s. So we made a F-14 aircrew of the first years, with helmet and oxygen mask that was in use before "top-gun 1", so before 1981. However, as I do not have a F-14 available, i installed them in an Intruder in 1/32 scale : Cheers Norbert

Hello ! We made a second version of the same USAF F-16 pilot, but looking port side, downwards : Cheers Norbert
-
Hi Here is an american F-16 pilot equiped with a HGU-55 helmet and the former MBU-12 mask, so a bit old style, and wearing only the seat harness and the G-suit : 80s - 2000s era, or later depending to the countries, squadrons and pilots. These gears were commonly used by several countries in the world. The type of pilot I could see in the "good old days" (was not always good, but I spend some good time on airfields...) cheers+ Norbert
-
The life preserver, and even the MA-2 harness in a former version, but this last detail is not very visible on a seated pilot. The Mk 3 life preserver, that was in use also inside the 70s, does not have a collar as you can see on the above picture. The helmet remains the same. An opportunity for other versions...
-
I'm interested to know more, I found only testimony about wired and heated flight suits on B-17 when cruising in high altitude, also for the pilot and copilot. But I certainly do not know all on everything, so my initial question. One thing when looking at period pictures, they often do not wear any heated coat when on the ground, nor life preserver, that makes me think (to search further) that all these gears were probably inside, except maybe for some of the gunners
-
But why one in summer outfits (or hot environment) and the other one in winter (or cold environment) ?

slowly preparing for them, still looking for an original CSU-3 G-suit in size medium

Hi, Reedoak has now a 1/32 US Navy phantom II F-4J crew, for the era from 1969 to the end of the 70s. They are equipped with APH-6A helmets and MS22001 mask, with butterfly bayonets, one of the possibilities of that time. Here in the Tamiya kit : We made also a 1/48 version, but for the F-4B, that finaly has different hand and arms position despite trying to keep the same pose: Cheers Norbert
