Hi all there!
Almost finished this one. Still need to correct some things. I've painted the life vest in green/grey, Front lobes supposed to have been hand painted in yellow by the pilot to add visibility.
I hope you like it. Any comments or suggestions more than welcomed

Cheers,
Gerard

Awesome....better than the box art IMO. And I love the basing too.

That's why I haven't started it yet, keep opening the box then doing something else!

Nice job all around. Winner!

this is totally not my era at all but I love the facial expression and the overall great finish on it, ive been asked to paint this for a friends Granddad, who was apparently one of the few, signed up when he was 17 and flew spits and hurries, I have nothing but total respect for all of them

Fantastic paintwork, very well finished

Very nicely painted & love the addition of the Cap badge,
Cheers

Great work i love the base too !

Me too, of course, even more considering that at their age they should have been just playing football or running after the girls at hometown, instead flying the most complicated machines of that time and being launched towards an early death

Now that is beautiful, I like the idea of the cap badge I was going to do the same thing. This is IMHO better than boxart. Now where did I leave my brushes?

And how the hell did you do the lettering on the chute release?

Really exceptional job!

Jim

Fabulous version of this (doubtless) classic bust.
