Bill_S Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Now that the Kingfisher is done, I've pulled this one out of mothballs. I hope to have this one ready before my club's show in September. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaS Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 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. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 . 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 . Cheers Rob 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 If you want a really tall pilot, check out the ones included in the HK Mosquito. If I recall, one is tall enough to be a first round draft pick for the NBA. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Found them! Along with an HK Do335 pilot. Man, these guys are giants. The tiny guy on the right is a Tamiya P-51 pilot. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belugawhaleman Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 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. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazzaS Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 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. My 190 guy: My Panzer guy: 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? 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill_S Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Nothing like a coat of silver to show wandering scribe marks. Filled with Tamiya putty and sanded. Every time I look at it, I see more screw ups. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill_S Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 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. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
