Sculpted by Viktor Konnov and painted by Diego Ruina. Pity the missing arms, at certain angles, but in my opinion, an outstanding representation of the theme:




















Edit : had a typo in the word "sculpted"

fantastic release !!!

i always want a bust of kamikaze

like like like - tora tora tora

It's not a bust, it's a story!

Fantastic!

Excellent depiction, I don't know much re equipment etc but facially it's perfect
Steve

Stunning!

Would look so good in a mini boxed diorama (looking into the cockpit?)

LOVE IT

Geez, thats very well done and superbly dramatic.
Ben

I don't think we've ever seen emotion captured this well. Nice!

brilliant / brilliant, I cant wait to get my hands on this ,so much potential to create something different, right up my street

Wonderfull bust, so full of emotion and Diego's paintwork is outstanding as always.

Hey Smudger I can see you building the whole aircraft to fit the figure.

What a clever piece of sculpting. The viewer (well me at least) subconsciously adds the arms, my minds eye immediately fills the space around the sculpt.
Outstanding.

Great Bust! I'm not bust guy, but lately I have gained much interest in busts... soon I may try one,
and this is a good choice...
Brian I must agree with Don, I see you doing something very cool around this one

Superb Piece

Excellent work, both painting and sculpting. This bust has emotion and action usually only seen in full figures!
Great.

That is straight up bad ass!!

I think Derek hit the nail on the head. What an incredible depiction!!!! The story immediately unfolds in your mind's eye to include arms, cockpit, story....Its so real you almost want to look from behind him to see what he is seeing!!! Its a MUST HAVE but I don't know if my skills could do it justice. Bravo to Viktor Konnov and Diego Ruina for a wonderful piece of art!!
