1:32 German Luftwaffe pilot N°2 1940-1945

1:32 German Luftwaffe pilot N°2 1940-1945 - a German pilot

A figure of a German military pilot in 1:32 scale from the brand Black Dog, dated in the name to the years 1940 to 1945. This is the second number of the sub-line; the manufacturer carries further numbered poses and shared sets in the same scale for it as well.

Why the 1:32 scale of all things

German fighters and attack machines of that time are among the most frequently built subjects of the large scales. In 1:32 both single-seat fighters and dive bombers are available, and it is exactly with them that it shows how empty space around a model takes away from a scene. A figure in the matching scale fills the space and at the same time works as a measuring element - by it the viewer gauges the real size of the machine at once.

The make-up of a scene

For the setting, the surroundings of a field airfield with a hard surface, camouflage nets and simple equipment suggest themselves: crates of spare parts, jerrycans and a stand. Do not place the figure in the middle of an open area, but by a fixed point - by a wheel of the landing gear, by a ladder or by a wing. In color we tune a scene so that the figure stands out from the surface by brightness, not by gaudiness; subdued surroundings and a slightly lighter figure are a reliable combination.

Who to recommend the figure to

• Builders of German aircraft in 1:32 scale
• Modelers who are adding a single figure to a model
• Collectors of numbered figures of the brand Black Dog
• Makers of scenes dated to the years 1940 to 1945
