I need a picture of a pilot, in color, taken from the proper angle to finish this picture. Does anyone know of a source for this? He would need to be wearing a Japanese uniform. He need not be Asian, as I can change the face. Can anyone help?
Good-lookin’ Raiden, Pixilator! That’s my all-time favorite Japanese aircraft.
Samurai Jack!
I can’t tell, though: is it a plastic model, or a digital model? Looks great either way.
Oh, and uh, sorry…don’t know of any sources offhand.
Have you tried poking around some Japanese avaiation sites? You might be able to pull a guy right out of a cockpit somewhere!
Good luck.
That’s the Hasegawa Raiden in 48th scale, with Squadron canopy and Eduard photo-etch. It’s a digital shot of the sky and plane. I use a Canon Power Shot G2 and I LOVE it ! Thanks for the compliment ! I appreciate it. I had to put myself behind the stick of this DML FW 190 A4.
Sorry about the image size on the 190 (2272 x 1704 pixels) I clicked on it and it fills the screen. Next time Ill resize the image. Apologies if it caused any problems. Bill.
About the only website of Japanese content I frequent is this one.http://www.j-aircraft.org/xplanes/main.html Check it out and I hope it helps you[:)]
Thanks, Woody. I’ll check it out. So far, the only uniforms I have found are battered remnants mounted on coathangers. Not very realistic if you want to incorporate them into a composition. Maybe your link will be fruitful. Thanks much, Pix.
If not ask Blackwolfsc. He has a huge reference library and is always very helpful. By the way are you on the forum over at http://www.scalehobby.com/forum/index.php yet? It has a great bunch of guys that are very helpful. I hope to see you over there. Best regards Woody

These guys should be able to help you. You may have to send them an e-mail or a message on the want ads. But this place is the best.

Woody - I just went over there and registered. I didn’t have much time to stay. A lot of familiar names. Thanks ! Thanks, bernndye ! What a great site ! If it wasn’t for the help of everyone here on this site, I’d be spending all my time surfing for info with no time left for models or pictures. Your grateful friend, Pix.
