A figure of a US Navy pilot of the Second World War period in 1:32 scale from the Offset Scale Models brand. It is not an airplane kit but a separate figure meant to fill out a large aircraft model, a diorama or a display case. The manufacturer also makes figures of pilots of other sides in this range, so a scene can be put together step by step.
US Navy pilots in the Second World War flew both from the decks of aircraft carriers and from shore bases. Their flying kit included a flight suit or flying jacket, a flying helmet with goggles, gloves and an inflatable life vest, which was nicknamed the Mae West because of its characteristic shape. The 1:32 scale matches large aircraft kits and is at the same time close to the collector's figure size of 54 mm, so the figure also stands up on its own on a base.
Before painting, wash the figure in lukewarm water with a drop of detergent and let it dry thoroughly; clean up any parting seams and casting remains carefully with a scalpel and a fine abrasive. Then spray a thin primer, which evens the surface out and at the same time reveals the places still to be sanded. Build the skin up in layers from a darker base to light highlights, bring out the fabric with a dark wash in the folds and a dry brush over the edges. Matte paints look truer on a figure than gloss ones; keep the gloss for the lenses of the goggles and small metal items.
The figure is supplied unpainted. The paints, glue and a base are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
