Title: Any figures that could Pass for APF Rhys Davids?
Post by: RAGIII on January 17, 2017, 01:38:58 AM

I need a figure, preferably in flying clothing, that could pass for A.P.F. Rhys Davids in 1/32nd scale. Any suggestions appreciated!

Thanks, That is a very nicely sculpted figure and certainly one to consider. My ONLY issue would be that he looks somewhat Old. Rhys Davids was a young chap!

The Wings Cockpit Figure of 'RFC pilot putting on gloves' could be made to look like him I think if the jaw were softened a little and also rather brings to mind this painting of him:
