norbert Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 Hi Norbert, some more American pilots, USAAF/Marine/Navy would be welcome, Pacific theatre, not a lot out there, I bought the Modern Navy chap more to see the technology, only really have a Growler I could put it beside, but it's the most impressive model product I've seen, truly mind blowing. Oh, and the list continues, a couple of FAA pilots would be very welcome too, Atlantic and Pacific, keep up the amazing work. Maybe a pilot for the Mirage III? Review of both the US Navy deck crew figure, and USAAF 12th Air Force pilot on their way to Kev... Many thanks Kagemusha, will see what I achieve in the future. A modeler found for me a Mirage III pilot, now have to proceed... Kagemusha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norbert Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) I ordered two of the 1/48 Reedoak U.S. Navy ones today (not sure if it qualifies as a hijack to talk about small scale on this thread). Got my bonus in yesterday & very excited to see them - and compare to equivalent Verlinden resin. Jim Many thanks for the order Jim, each order encourages me to continue Edited August 21, 2015 by norbert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbert Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 some progress on the bomber RAF crews : The "mossie" pilot is 99.9 % done, have a tiny detail you wont see to improve. More work on the second pilot, 2 parachute handels desapeared, O2 tube has some difficulties to go all long. Have to think how to get it best without increasing the tube diameter...

phantom Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) I am looking for WW2 US pacific pilots and ground crew. Mike Edited August 21, 2015 by phantom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geedubelyer Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Incredible work. These look to be such natural poses. Norbert, do you think there is any chance of modern flight crew in just flying suits without life vests or g-suits etc? I'd like a modern pilot to pose in front of my modern jets as if he/she were at a flying display. Those guys generally wear their flying suits, occasionally hats or sunglasses but no other paraphenalia. Even now I'm looking at that Mossie pilot and imagining him standing in front of my recent warbird build like they do at Flying Legends, Duxford. Cheers.

phantom Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I am doing a Guadacanal diorama with my birdcage. I have pretty much everything I need except for some figures. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Howie Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Wow those figures are gorgeous! Will definitely be picking up a few. A Cactus Air Force Corsair driver would be awesome! Great stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sheep One Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Nice work Norbert. I'm looking for a set of pilots seated in the cockpit of a 1/32 A-6 Intruder. I do hope you'll make some WWII, Vietnam and Korea sets of seated pilots in cockpits. Not many around (of this quality). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
