Responsibility details are not available.
A figure in 1:32 scale cast in modeling resin, intended to complete a cabinet, a diorama or a scene beside a model of an aircraft. According to the name it is a figure of a Second World War RAF bomber pilot with a parachute. It is not a kit of an aircraft or a finished painted model; the figure comes as a casting to be completed. The exact number of parts and the contents of the package are stated on the box.
Resin holds finer modeling of the face, the folds of the clothing and the harness better than injection-molded plastic, but it calls for a slightly different procedure. First wash the casting in lukewarm soapy water; the surface tends to carry mold release residue, through which paint will not hold. Then look over the casting blocks: on figures they tend to be under the base, on the heels or on the back, that is where removing them will not damage the modeling. Cut them off with a fine saw or a new blade, never snap them. Sand the remains of the block and the thin parting seam on the sides of the figure with fine sandpaper or a file, and protect your airways while doing so, because resin dust is not to be breathed in. Fill any small bubbles and sand them down. If the figure is made up of more than one piece, join the individual parts with cyanoacrylate glue.
The basis is a thin coat of primer; on smooth resin the paint is easily rubbed off without it. For the face and hands, a procedure that goes from a mid flesh layer through a darker shadow in the recesses to a lighter hint on the raised areas works well; oil paint or heavily thinned acrylic will help. Leather and fabric parts are brought to life by a dark wash that runs into the folds and by a gentle dry brush on the edges. It pays to paint the harness and the buckles last with a fine brush. Even the finished figure out with a matte coat, keeping gloss only where it belongs.
The figure is supplied unpainted and unassembled. Glue, paints and a base are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
