About product

1:32 USAAF Bomber Aircraft Commander 1940-45, a Black Dog figure set

The item 1:32 USAAF Bomber Aircraft Commander 1940-45 belongs to the figure range of the Czech maker Black Dog in the large 1:32 scale. It is not an aircraft model but a figure accessory to a finished model or a diorama. The subject is the commander of a bomber crew of the US Army Air Forces, delimited in the name by the years 1940 to 1945.

The real subject

During the Second World War the US Army Air Forces deployed heavy bombers such as the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress and the Consolidated B-24 Liberator in large formations over Europe and the Pacific. The commander of an aircraft was also its first pilot and carried responsibility for the whole, usually numerous crew. They flew at great heights in freezing cold, so period photographs show airmen in leather jackets and fur-lined suits, with an oxygen mask and a life vest. A figure of a commander beside a model of a bomber gives the scene a human dimension and shows graphically how enormous these machines were.

Tips for painting and placing in the scene

Degrease the surface and apply a thin primer. Paint the leather parts in warm brown tones and polish them lightly with a dry brush, so that they take on a worn look; the fur collar, by contrast, should be left matte and lighter. Flow a dark shade into the folds. Build the skin up in layers and leave the face until the end. In the scene, place the figure by the fuselage or by the steps, where the size of the bomber is most readable.

Who the set is for

  • modelers building American bombers in 1:32 scale
  • makers of dioramas of US Army Air Forces airfields
  • anyone interested in figure painting in a large scale
  • collectors of the Black Dog figure range
