About product

The real subject

The airmen of the First World War flew in open cockpits, and their kit matched that: a long leather coat or a short jacket, a leather helmet, goggles and gloves. The German and the Austro-Hungarian air service resembled each other in this respect, as both camps were dealing above all with the cold and the airflow at altitude. That is exactly why the figure suits a whole range of biplanes of both sides.

What the figure is for

A model of an aircraft without a crew reads as static and a viewer judges its size less well. A figure beside the fuselage or in the cockpit gives a model both scale and story, whether you stand it by a parked machine in a diorama or seat it directly in the cockpit. In 1:32 scale even the small details of the face and the folds of the clothing stand out.

Painting tips

Before painting, wash the figure in lukewarm water with detergent and let it dry, so that the paint holds. Cut excess material off with a sharp blade a little off the part and sand the rest back. Paint in layers from darker tones to lighter ones, and finish the face only at the end.

  • leather parts look better with a faint sheen than matte
  • bring the folds of the clothing out with a dark wash and a light dry brush
  • suggest the eyes with a fine point, as at this size a hint is enough
  • try the pose of the figure beside the model before gluing

Who it is for

For builders of First World War aircraft in 1:32 scale and for makers of dioramas who want a living person in a scene.

What is not in the box

The model of the aircraft, paints and glue are not included in the delivery, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. It is supplied unpainted, and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

That depends on the particular kit. Try the figure in the cockpit dry before gluing and painting.

Super glue has proved itself for putting it together. Degrease the surfaces before gluing.
