An other US Navy helo crew will be done, strapped or with restrain, for inside. Also one older style. For the WWII seated, have to finish what was scanned before knoking again at the collectors doors, a question of time. cheers Norbert

Yes, I'm planning some. But it will take some time, as I have not much time left, and also for my wife to understand I should get some kits to calculate the positions . Vietnam : 3 first scans for army Hueys done, will see what it gives. I need a crew for this one that a friend gave me 2 weeks ago, probably with some ideas in the background

Hi Bill, there is a cheaper shipping option : letter with tracking for max 8 boxes, Euro 9.70 to USA. Remove sprues is a choice of about 10 % of the buyers, its like plastic sprues, you need a sprue cutter, and it's in 3 dimensions instead of all on same level on plastic. As it will take a few days to be prepared, you can change your mind (send me a PM) and I will refound the difference.

All figures are on www.reedoak.com

Hi Back to WWII with an US Marine Corps pilot pulling his gloves on, parachute attached (yes I know, parachute is normaly inside the plane but you can find some pictures with parachute attached) Cheers Norbert

You mean a deck crew sitting inside, but looking outside as the plane is pulled out of lift or out of park ?

OK, rivets are not raised, but they are very thin. Keep in mind it's not bigger than a 1/48 kit. Such rivets are OK to me cheers Norbert

I think it will not go, the high you see is the max realistic high. Eventualy at wing root or on Lerx as I saw somewhere, but not sure it wasn't a E/F type

Hi Next addition comes with a small change : US navy NAS ground crew instead of deck crew : no more survival vest, different uniforme . Instead the digital blue, desert Marpat can also be used. cheers Norbert

Hubert is right, it's the bare print, with printing supports (roughly, you may see) removed. No primer, no casting, print#100 is same quality as print 1

Hi We made a new pose for a deck crew sitting inside a jet cockpit, or any other aircraft or helicopter. cheers Norbert

Many thanks for your help Kev. Just found out I also can not read my notifications...unless I open them in a new window... So, as I found a way to post, here is the last update : We made an US Army, or US Air Force helicopter instructor, helmet on arm, ball cap on head. you can get him with, or without sunglasses, depending from the box reference cheers Norbert

it seems to work when I quote, I use google chrome and it worked fine up to this week-end. When I do a direct reply, it says "saving post....."and nothing happens

Hi, after these US Navy helicopter pilots, here is, in 1/24, a WW2 french ace. I was requested to convert the figure to this scale, and was asking myself why, untill I remember his last plane was a P-47... cheers Norbert

Many thanks Ray

Hi The second US Navy crew-chief, this one laying on floor, is now done. Like the other one, he can be also placed on a ramp cheers Norbert

So seems we moved at the right place, hopefuly next figure is an US Navy helicopter crew sitting at door or on ramp cheers Norbert

I have a civilian pilot in shirt in the pipe, but strangely, I have to do a fish basket before...as he asked me to do this first !

For the mechanics, I did not find the differences with the US Army mechanics we actualy have, they may be OK for the USAAF I think

It does not sound strange... The question is more to have the right plane behind, or the right guys in the front what is not really the case here, but it gives the idea cheers Norbert

Hi back to more confidential figure : French ALAT (Army light aviation) female soldier, late 80s to 90s. There were also some female soldiers in the Génie de l'Air on airfields, but the uniform is a standard french, it's just a question of badges. The figure has the ALAT badge on the beret however. here in 1/32 versus 1/48 and 1/72 cheers Norbert

1/32 versus 1/72.... cheers Norbert

yes, scanning live models, like a photographer will do...

Many thanks In overall plus gear, I guess
