That is a very well-done figure, Robert.  Excellent painting as well!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Beautiful! The Leather Jacket in particular is outstanding! By the way the legs look better painted. Did you re sculpt or is it just the painting that gives them more depth?

Robert is it possible to design figures to scale 1:48? You have wounderfull pilots, because for me in the wrong scale.

Echoing the others, this is a beautifully sculpted figure.  Is he modeled on any particular German pilot?

Regards,

Bob

Thank you all for the feedback
The legs are the same, the paint does make them look fuller!
He wasn't based on a particular pilot, but taken from several reference sources, especially for the jacket.
I have done much work in 1:48 and there are some future plans for this scale, but not for a while.
