Default RE: Scale poseable pilot making

Well Brad, your Spitty pilot is FINALLY winging his way to you! It's been a journey and lucky you're a patient guy I'm going to redo the uniform as that was a first draft and it always needs refining but it's a start, not the end!

Now that we've done the Spitfire goggles and made a good start on the RAF MaeWest and uniform I'd like to do a 1/4 scale pilot with a recognizable American face. There's Ben Affleck from Pearl Harbour but whenever I mention him I get groans of disgust because guys seem to hate the movie because of the soppie story line and apparent bad acting. However, in the movie he did fly a Spitfire, a P-40, a B-25 ....... and a Steerman too. So any other suggestions then for an American, Battle of Britain era pilot???

Here are a few pics of the 1/5 Brad Spitfire pilot in it's steps to creation.

Cheers
Patti
