OK, I hope I dont disappoint you Patti or anyone else but after testing some paint on an off-cut I simply painted the exposed parts of my pilot with 'Flesh' colour from Humbrol and that was it. I bent and posed him and filled in some of the bigger creases with some more paint and that was it. This was all after trimming off the bits of 'flash' from the joins of the body mould. I was wondering how I could smooth him out with out adding weight and then thought "Why??" So he is a bit wrinkled and sun burnt, but he is light, and looks right and he is in the model.
I will look at purchasing some extra clothing IF I ever get to somewhere where some one might give a damn. Next is to order some seat belts for the 109 and the Spitfire to really set these beaut little pilots off.

Cheers,

Brad
