SgtPappas Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 Didn't the films use single seaters? Yes, in the movie using two-seatet planes, but they covered back seat with something. In my case i want to show Kowalski with "duckface", and afroamerican, who flied in the Wallmart This has to be one of the craziest and most original ideas I,ve seen on BM,looking forward to see it unfold.what about the guy cooking the hot dog? Yes, this man will be there for sure. Operation "Sleeping Weather" continues Watching the film, I noticed that was specially painted over the pointing at the site of markings. So, i did it too. Some ready-for-errors-surface-primer photos And some screenshots from the movie which i used as a reference. And i have a question for you, guys. Where i can buy a civilian woman to create a DeadMeat's wife? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattBlack33 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I'm guessing Preiser may do a "civilian woman" in one of their sets. If you look you might even find a figure with the exact clothing. This is the first set I came to. I know it's N gauge, but they do 1/72 sets too. http://www.modellers-mecca.co.uk/155-preiser-figures-n-gauge See what you think. Hope it helps?

SgtPappas Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) Small update. I don't write anything here for a long time, but that doesn't mean I threw the model. Just I'm working in three projects - Airfix 1/48 Folland Gnat, Hasegawa 1/48 P-39 Airacobra and Tamiya 1/35 King Tiger Porsche. I have a question. What color is it? I think in the film jet is painted in the USAF colorss, but what number of this color in Tamiya's acrylics? I think, this is light grey like on this F-16, but what number is it?
