I have an idea for a diorama and need a figure in 1/32/54mm for a early WWII US aircraft mechanic/crew chief and pilot. I have searched most of the major hobby store websites and am not having much luck. I can do a figure conversion for the pilot if need be, but the crew chief is really proving hard to find. Any suggestions out there?
Verlinden or CMK? maybe.
I looked on both of their sites and did not see anything that would really work for what I am looking for.
Verlinden used to have a pilot (in B-2 leather jacket) and a figure who could pass for a crew chief wearing a baseball cap. I still have the crew chief lookng guy though I painted the pilot. If you don’t have any luck in your search, let me know and we can arrange something. (That is, if the crew chief is complete.)
The crew chief in the ball cap sounds like just what I need. Do you have an item numer on the set? I may just get lucky at a LHS around me.
This is the figure, assembled but un painted. I have no idea of the kit number. I boupght him years ago at a show and he’s been in a plastic bag at my desk. PM or e-mail me if you want to do some sort of trade. Better someone paint him than he spent the rest of eternity in a bag. [:)]
PM sent… he just might do… I see some good possibilty with him
Stikpusher… if you want a really nice resin US WWII pilot in a casual standing pose, the 1/35 scale Bronco Grasshopper kit comes with one. The kit is not expensive and is pretty good quality and not too expensive. I bought one not long ago and was quite pleased. The resin figure is really well cast and was a real nice surprise when i opened the box…
