Title: New 1/72 Figure
Post by: rolanddvi on March 26, 2015, 10:28:10 AM

Just saw a WWI German-Austro Hungarian Pilot figure from Aero Bonus. Not sure about the protocol for posting the web site or the part number on the forum. Figure looks pretty good!

I can't remember where I read it, but just recently someone mentioned all figures having big mustaches. Most photos I've seen of these young men are clean shaven.
Now whenever I look at a figure I fixate on the huge brush under the nose. :)

I've been shaving them, twice now. Each time I had a particular pilot in mind, and they were clean shaven in any photos I've seen.
First time I did that, they looked like they'd had a very unfortunate meeting with a lawn mower or somesuch, but I'm getting better... ;)

The Aero Bonus figure looks great for 1/72. And his moustache should come off without too much trouble!

That is a beautifully molded figure!
