Wow Louis, I don't know what to say...this plane is a stunner, the shape is absolute interesting and the way you have added details is brilliant. The colours and the weathering are perfectly done.
I think it is one of the best pieces of stand-alone models I have ever seen.
Chapeau,
Manni

Hello.

Figurine:


I used "FIMO" paste found in all graphic art shops or in some supermarkets. It's sold in small quantities and it's cheap.

The goal was to get something resembling the man sitting on the wheel.



The suit, very wide, with the helmet so seating.







The first version of the head, too big with a nose too low:









The helmet is a German helmet (2ww) reworked and modified with 2 components Tamiya mastics which is very easy to model.

The new, more classic head:



With the woolen hood that stings:









All dark parts are in 2 component Tamiya Mastics.

 I admit that for once I am pretty happy with the result.
