Responsibility details are not available.
A portrait bust from the Polish maker Mirage Hobby in a size of 200 mm. The figure denotes the height of the casting rather than a scale, so the item cannot be compared with figures for dioramas. It is a stand-alone display object intended for modelers who enjoy painting a face and the fine details of equipment. It is supplied unassembled and unpainted.
The subject is a Polish fighter pilot in the service of the Royal Air Force with the rank of Squadron Leader, as he appeared in November 1942. The abbreviation of the rank in the name contains a slash, which matches the usage of the time and is not an error. For painting, the decisive elements are those of the equipment of the early 1940s: a service tunic, a flying badge, and possibly a helmet with goggles or a life vest.
Before work, wash the castings in lukewarm water with detergent and let them dry. Remove the parting seams with a scalpel, sand the remainder with fine paper and check the surface against the light, because at a large format even a barely noticeable line will stand out. Apply the primer in a thin coat so that the modeling is preserved. Paint the face from the shadow areas toward the highlights; do the eyes before you start toning the surrounding skin, as corrections are then easier. Tone the textile parts of the uniform with glazes and run the shadow along the actual folds rather than along the engraving. Leave the metal parts until the end and apply the matte coat over them only carefully. Finally set the bust on a base that goes with the colors of the uniform.
The bust is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Paints, glue and a base are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
