Hey Norbert

 

Love your figures - the best in the business!

 

Have you considered making an F-16 Pilot with an HGU-55 Helmet? I love the one you make with the JHMCS helmet but they have only been around for so long. It would be really nice to have a version of that figure wearing an older HGU-55

Hi Niels

I'm preparing one, with HGU-55 helmet. Fist will probably be a simple one : G-suit, harness, no survival vest, and visor down. Have to see  to make a F-15 pilot at the same time, different arm poses...

Cheers

Norbert

What would have been different from 1965-1969?

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...
