Three pilots in 3 scales.

The flyboy is 6' 3" in 1/32 scale.

The Panzer commander is 5' 6" in 1.35 scale.

And the Japanese Zero pilot is 6' and a tiny bit in 1/48 scale.

What are you trying to tell Gary, pilots grow better than tankers? :D

Cheers Rob

More that some figures are a bit out of scale.  I don't imagine there were many FW pilots that tall...   and no IJN pilots that tal, either.  The tanker...  utterly believable.

I know what you mean, when I built my 1/48 Mig-31, I was more than a bit surprised by the size difference of different bang seats. They claim ALL to be 1/48 :hsmack:.
Left: Eduard borrowed from a SU-27 kit, Middle Quickboost or Aires with pilot and Right: Kit supplied from AMG. I'm still wondering, if the kit seat would have fit under the closed canopy.
And then sometimes we fight about millimeters, accuracy wise :rofl:.

Cheers Rob

Still plodding away on my Tamiya Brummbar....got the Assembly work

done and sprayed its base coat.. The kit is a pleasure to build. No issues

at all. Next will be adding the camouflage colors......It's been a while since

I've tried my hand at the German tri-color. I've got to get started somewhere as

I have a lot of kits that feature that. Anyway its been a while since I've been

able to get back to the bench.

Are you a modeller who paints figures?  Or a figure painter who builds models.  I am definitely the former.  I doubt that I will ever devote enough time to figures to make any that will grab anyone's attention.

And my chubby Zero Pilot...   C'mon Tamiya!  WTF?

Give that man a pizza!

 

BTW...   Before I added paint, I thought that the FW guy might be a dead ringer for HRH King Charles.  Too ruddy though, eh?

If Charlie likes the port as much as his Gran he might end up with that complexion!

Covid's been kicking my ass; I'm finally on the upswing, but my energy level has been very low. I pulled my Revell mid-wing George out of mothballs and managed to get it rescribed. Once I get some energy, it will be time to pull out the salt.

I did also do some work on the landing gear. A mix of Revell and Tamiya parts, all will go into recasts of Hasegawa gear bays.
