With the heat here lately I havn't got as much done to the plane as I wanted.. the shop is not cooling down at night

So I worked on my pilot... I just hate the looks of the century jet pilot.. really rough looking

So I made franken pilot..lol.. I really love the Ace's of Iron Pilots, but wanted a full body pilot
I saw this done a few years ago with the bigger pilots so I went for it

I went with a 1/7 scale Ace's of Iron bust and the 1/8 Vailly Aviation full body pilot...
I just cut the Vailly Aviation pilot in half and glued him with CA to the aces of iron... I used a little canopy glue to help blend them out..
then you glue the arms on and legs... it's not perfect but from above looking down into the cockpit it's just fine

I also bought the bigger pilots to do the same setup for my top flight gaint scale P-51

all in all I'm pretty happy with him.. you can't see the weathering on him all that well but in person he is nice and dirty

later
Ron
