The item 1:32 USAAF Bomber Aircraft Navigator 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 navigator of a bomber crew of the US Army Air Forces, delimited in the name by the years 1940 to 1945.
On the heavy bombers of the US Army Air Forces the navigator was one of the key members of the crew. His station was usually in the forward fuselage, and his job was to keep the machine on course over territory with no landmarks, in the dark or above cloud. He worked with maps, a chronometer and instruments for celestial navigation, and an error of his meant a whole formation missing the target. Like the other airmen he flew in the freezing cold of great heights, so in period photographs he tends to appear in a leather jacket or a lined suit. Beside a bomber model in 1:32 he suits being paired with the figure of the commander.
Degrease the surface and apply a thin layer of primer. Paint the leather parts in warm brown tones, highlight the edges with a dry brush and darken the folds with a shade flowed into them. Build the skin up in layers, leave the face until last and work with the finest brush. If you are combining the figure with other figures in the range, paint them at the same time, so that the shades of the clothing go together. Try the arrangement beside the model dry before painting.
