pilot and crews figures by Reedoak

I've been saying it for years, and years, and years.... I'd love a 120mm WWII era Landing Signals Officer.  You could do them in any number of different uniforms (or even just tropical shorts and boots and nothing else) and poses, including the canvas wind break behind them...

Well, will see if Remi's collection is rich at this point...

Hey Norbert, These are super nice! The jet pilot is awesome and full of detail. I've attached a link to a nice Mosquito diorama with some cool RAF figures that may be of interest. Yes, it's 1/48 and I apologize in advance to the moderators, but it gives an idea of some nice figures for Norbert to think about :)

Hi

 

Pilots and mechanics in tropical dress are now done. Pilot has a gas-mask bag and helmet. Mechanics is walking and holds a 2 gallon can.

Are the helmets supposed to be pith helmets as worn in the tropics the stop the sun, or army style metal helmets to stop bullets?

I'm gonna be starting a UH-60 sitting in the hangar undergoing maintenance, but I can't start until you do some modern army or air force helicopter mechanics doing work.

Could you please do these next?

 

Tim

I would like to do them Tim. Will need some pictures for reference if it's possible
