1:72 Female driver for A/S-32A-31A Mule Tow Tractor (scene 2) (1 pcs)

The figure of the driver of the Mule tractor, scale 1:72

A supplementary figure of a woman in the role of the driver, intended for a model of the A/S-32A-31A Mule aircraft tow tractor in 1:72. In the name it is listed as the scene 2 variant and the package contains one piece.

Why the figure makes a difference

The Mule tractor serves for handling aircraft and practically never appears without its operator. A figure beside the machine also gives the picture scale: it is only by a person that the viewer grasps how low the tractor really is. In 1:72 scale a person about a hundred and seventy-five centimeters tall comes out at just under two and a half centimeters, so this is a small part that is worth painting before it is glued to a base.

Painting tips

• Cut excess material and traces of manufacture away with a sharp blade a little from the part and sand the surface down.
• Wash and degrease the figure before painting, because on a small part chipped paint shows at once.
• Paint it mounted on a wooden stick or a toothpick, because a small part is hard to hold in the hand.
• At this scale leave the drawing of the eyes out, because the face is settled by a base shade and a fine shadow under the chin.
• Bring out the outlines of the clothing with a dark shadow in the folds and a lighter pass over the edges.
• Finally unify the surface with a flat varnish and seat the figure in place.

Who it is for

For builders of airfield and deck pictures in 1:72 who find their equipment short of an operator. Try the seating dry, because depending on the pose the fit may need adjusting. The package contains one figure, and the model of the tractor, paints and glue are not included, unless stated otherwise.
