About product

US aircraft mechanic, Second World War, the Pacific 1:48 (Aerobonus / Aires)

A resin standing figure of an American aircraft mechanic (ground personnel of the US Army Air Forces) from the Pacific theater of the Second World War in 1:48 scale from the brand Aerobonus (the Aires line). This figure is another pose from the same line of mechanics and will complete the other figures into a group. It is part of a line of mechanics in various poses; it is a figure to be painted, not a stand-alone aircraft model.

The real subject

The figure represents a member of the ground personnel of the US Army Air Forces as he served at Pacific bases during the Second World War. The mechanics kept fighters and bombers serviceable in harsh tropical conditions, in light working gear and a cap. The figure will bring an airfield scene or a maintenance view beside an aircraft to life.

Building and painting tips

Resin parts for more experienced modelers: wash the mold release agent off them, separate them from the casting blocks (gates) and glue them with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue); protect your airways while sanding. Apply primer before painting, lay the paint on in thin coats and bring out the details with a wash. The head and the arms are usually separate, so the pose can be adjusted slightly; check the fit dry.

Who the figure is for

  • Experienced modelers and collectors building American aircraft in 1:48 scale from the Pacific
  • Modelers assembling a group of mechanics around a single aircraft
  • Builders of dioramas with ground support at a field airfield
  • Enthusiasts of the Pacific front and of American army aviation history

The figure is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and the base kit are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

An American aircraft mechanic (ground personnel of the US Army Air Forces) from the Pacific theater of the Second World War.

No. It is a standing figure to be painted and set into a scene. The aircraft model has to be obtained separately.

They form a complete line of aircraft mechanics in various poses. The individual figures differ in stance and activity, so they can be combined into a single view at an airfield.
