Mikey58 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 My latest 'build'-a 120mm resin RAF pilot figure from Heritage Aviation. No assembly but I cut/scraped off the leads. I replaced these with lead wire and oxygen tube is a bit of wire I had lying around. Rank stripes are tamiya tape. More of a painting exercise-much practice needed! Painted with Humbrol acrylics and yes the blue shade of the uniform looks too light. I don't know of a standard colour that is closer to the actual uniform. Sorry about last two pics-photobucket keeps turning themround when posting. Thanks for looking. Mike 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galgos Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Really good looking figure there, and what a simple but effective thing to do with the leads! Excellent. Max 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
