While I've been waiting on the clear coats to dry on my Stuka and Hurricane, I've managed to get the pilot painted and installed into the cockpit.
Big thank you to Vic Russell for letting me piece the pilot together from his ICM 1/72d RAF aircrew set. Apparently he was a size 1/72 "husky" as it took quit a bit of surgery on both him and the seat to get him to fit.
So here he is after painting. I used whatever paints looked right, with a little dark wash and highlighting.
Here he is shoehorned into the cockpit.
And the final dry fitting to make sure everything would still mated correctly, and while not in the picture the canopy does fit.
Bandits at 11 O'clock! Roger leader, what do we do till then...taka...taka...taka
