Default RE: Sculpting a WWII Luftwaffe Pilot Figure

Thats awesome, great work, nice subject, I have a 1/5 109G from Fliteskin waiting for your pilot!

From what I read the leather jackets were not issued they were bought by pilots usually at stores that sold motorcycle jackets and similar riding coats. US and British pilots did the same in England. This was more prevelant during WWI but did carry over into WWII. This is why there was such a variety of coats and individual style in the air forces especially among top pilots.

Cant wait to see Gunther done!
