pilot and crews figures by Reedoak

I will do a in flight crew. However, the clear visor on top of helmet will be plain grey resin, you will have to paint it helmet colour (white or camo like here) and put a relatively thick layer of gloss warnish on top.

Great news! It is possible to just do one visor though. I never flew with two visors, only the dark one. I knew lots of crewmen that did this as well.

I'd still like to see some plain USMC/USN Vietnam ground/flight crew standing around (plane captains and ordies), either with the muffs on or off ears. I'd like one of these relatively simple posed guys as a single figure to add some scale to the model.

 

Some examples....

Many thanks, I never have enough pics of crews for my ref.

Now to find what type of headset or ear protection we find here...

These are brilliant, Norbert. It's been a while since anyone brought it up, but I would like to chime in as well and say that a full crew for the HK B-25 and/or B-17 would be most welcome, and something completely missing from the market. Posed in flight - pilots, bombardier, navigator, and gunners firing their weapons would make for an impressive wheels up diorama.

There is a guy working on an impressive 1/32 B-17 crew since a good time (walking crew) that will most probably make great (and massive) dios possible.

But I keep that all in mind.

A new helmet is available now by Reedoak in different scales :

The SPH-4 US Army helicopter pilot helmet was used in the Vietnam war, the golf war to until recently, beeing replaced by the HGU-56/P helmet.

Left in 1/35, middle in 1/48, right a post vietnam version with velcro on the back.

Helmet is with detailled interior like the others in Reedoak products line.
