About product

A British First World War airman, no. 1, 1:32 scale

A figure of an airman from the period of 1914 to 1918 in the large 1:32 scale from the brand Black Dog. This is the first of the pair of stances the manufacturer offers for this subject, and it is aimed at builds of biplanes with an open cockpit.

How flying was done back then

The cockpits were open and unheated, so an airman had to withstand the frost even in summer. He therefore wore a long leather coat with a fur collar, a flying helmet and large goggles, which kept out the stream of air and the splashing oil. The rotary engines of the machines of the time sprayed lubricant into the whole space behind them, so the clothing of airmen tended to show it at first glance. This detail matters more for a figure than any other.

Painting the leather and the traces of oil

Do not do the leather coat in a single color. Break the basic brown down into darker folds and lighter taut places and add a few irregular darker smears, which will suggest soaked-in oil. The fur on the collar, on the contrary, should be built up with a dry brush from below, so that the hairs come across as fluffy. The goggles deserve a clear glossy surface and dark surroundings, because it is exactly they that are the visual center of the whole figure. Anyone who dares can suggest a faint reflection of the sky in the lenses with one stroke of a light tone.

Who the figure is for

  • For builds of First World War biplanes in 1:32
  • For modelers drawn to painting leather and fur
  • For a scene on a grassy field airfield
  • For collectors of figures from the era of open cockpits

FAQ

The cockpits were open and unheated. At altitude the frost prevailed even in the summer months, so layered leather was a necessity.

With a dry brush from the bottom upward in two to three lighter shades. The hairs then come across as fluffy, not as a merged mass.

It does not. The figure is shaped for 1:32 and with a smaller or larger machine the proportion would not agree.

Yes, the manufacturer carries a second stance for the subject, so they can be placed side by side without repetition.
