About product

An American naval aviator 1940 to 1945, 1:32 scale, number 1

A resin figure from the Czech maker Black Dog out of its range of aircrew. The 1:32 scale matches large aircraft models, so the figure serves as a scale comparison beside a model in a display case or as the basis of a small scene. It is supplied as a raw casting, unpainted, with casting blocks that are cut off before building.

The real subject

A carrier aircraft pilot of the US Navy in the period from 1940 to 1945 was fitted out with a life vest, a parachute harness, a leather or cloth helmet and goggles. The gear was bulky and over the flight suit it made up a characteristic silhouette, which the figure captures well in this scale. The detail of the straps and buckles is cast more finely in resin than injection-molded plastic manages.

Building and painting tips

First wash the figure in lukewarm water with dish soap to remove the mold release agent; without that the paint will not hold on the surface. Cut the casting blocks off with a saw or a cutter, sand the parting seams, and do the sanding wet and with respiratory protection. A primer follows, ideally in a light shade, which brings out the shapes. Paint from the top down and from the large areas to the detail; leave the face until the end and build it up from several thin coats. The leather of the gear takes a dark wash and a fine highlight on the edges, and matte clear at the end unifies the surface.

Who the figure is for

  • builders of large aircraft models who want a scale comparison
  • anyone interested in American naval aviation of the 1940s
  • modelers who want to practice figure painting in a larger format
  • makers of vignettes and scenes beside an aircraft model

The figure is supplied unpainted, as a resin casting. Paints, glue and an aircraft model are not included in the package.

FAQ

Of casting resin. It is glued with superglue; ordinary cement for plastic will not join resin.

With figures of this type the body tends to be cast in one piece and some parts separately. The exact number of parts is given on the packaging.

Yes, the 1:32 scale matches large aircraft models. For models in 1:48 scale the figure is too big.
