Thanks Bob That did work. It appears that the winter and high alt suit might be made out of sheep skin. Rich

Rich, it looks like sheep.. I can't be sure though. But if you simulate the looks of that suit it will be convincing no matter what.

Rich,

If you still need scale data on Japanese WWII-era aircrew, here are two more among the many resources out there:

1.) A 1/5th scale bust appeared on HyperScale just the other day:

HyperScale home page: http://www.hyperscale.com

2.) J-Aircraft.com is a place is frequented by hard-core aviation enthusiasts who are wonderfully obsessed with minute details of Japanese Army and Naval aviation. Among other things, the bulleting boards are a great Q/A discussion yak-a-thon. These guys are INTO it.

Enjoy!
