About product

The real subject

A pilot of a carrier-based aircraft of the US Navy wears a flight suit, a seat harness with straps across the chest, a helmet and an oxygen mask. It is precisely this layered equipment that makes the figure a rewarding object to paint: matte fabric, shiny buckles and the smooth shell of the helmet meet on it.

What the figure is for

A model of an aircraft with no crew comes across as static and the viewer judges its size worse. A figure beside the machine or in the cockpit gives the model scale and action. In 1:32 scale it is moreover worth spending time on the face and the small details of the equipment, because they are clearly visible in a finished scene.

Painting tips

Before painting, wash the figure in lukewarm water with dish soap and let it dry, otherwise the paint may not hold. Cut the excess material away with a sharp blade a little away from the part and sand the remainder with fine paper. Work from darker tones to lighter ones and finish the face last.

  • paint the straps of the harness separately, it sets them apart from the flight suit
  • give the helmet a slight gloss and leave the flight suit matte
  • the visor of the mask can be brought out with a drop of gloss clear coat
  • try the stance against the model dry before gluing

Who it is for

For builders of carrier aircraft in 1:32 scale and for makers of dioramas from an air base or the deck of an aircraft carrier.

What is not in the box

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

FAQ

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

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

An ejection seat is not stated here, so reckon only with the figure.

Superglue has proved itself for putting it together; degrease the surfaces before gluing.
