WIP 1/16 Finnish Pilot Conversion.

    Hello,
    Here is my project that I'm trying to finish before Euromilitaire. Based on Trumpeter 1/16 Russian tanker, I've changed the coat, long trousers, flying helmet etc. As it stood months on my table, I realised that the original arms were terribly wrong. Out came the saw and I sculpted new arms and sleeves, the right from Super Sculpey firm and the left from Magic Sculp. Dont ask why, I wanted to experiment:)
    Before using the saw and new sculpting the figure was already painted maybe 80%. Now I must start almost from the Beginning.
    Comments most welcome;
    Pekka N.

    It is possible, look at an art -box from this miniature? I would like to recognize whom this miniature represents? This is the Russian pilot? What year on it a uniform?

    Hi Pekka,
    I do not know the Finnish pilots uniform, so cannot comment on the accuracy but the arms that you have sculpted look better than the parts made by the manufacturer. Well done.
    Cheers,
    Keith

    Great job! The arms are great!

    The face is the original from the plastic figure?
