beaz Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 Thanks! The included pilot figure is wearing the entire harness minus the strap sections that attach to the back of the seat, so the current plan is to use cut-down straps from Radu's "1/32 US Seatbelts" set trimmed right up to the first set of buckles. We'll see how well I can integrate the two with a little stick-glue and a bit of paint... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffH Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Looks really great so far! When I do mine I will use RLM70 for the interior...as we all know it's the exact same color as the German planes that bombed Pearl Harbor (Animal House FTW! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beaz Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 Thanks again guys. I'm quite the inexperienced figure painter and am having a second go at finishing the pilot after muffing the first attempt and stripping the paint back down to bare primer. Have spent a good bit of time researching and working out suitable Vallejo mixes for his final palette. So here he is all base coated, minus goggles and mask hose: Wanted to paint his face before I attach the clear plastic goggles, which will be tinted a light clear amber on the inside. Then just have to put on the final colors, highlights and shadows, and then it'll be back to the airframe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
