Ultracast continues its series of excellent pilot figures with a new 1/48 release - a WWII USAAF Fighter Pilot
The pilot is wearing dress trousers with a leather flying jacket and Mae West life jacket. Two optional heads are supplied - one with a leather flying helmet and one donning an officer's cap.
The figure was sculpted by Mike Good, and the quality is well up to his superb standards. I think that the face of the helmeted head bears a striking resemblence to Victor Mature. The pose is natural and versatile for an aviation diorama, or for use as a standalone display figure.
Casting of my sample is perfect. The body and legs are cast as a single piece, with the arms and two heads supplied separately.
This is another excellent addition to Ultracast's growing range of pilot figures. British or Commonwealth next, perhaps?
The figure in these photos was painted by Kevin from Ultracast.
Thanks to Ultracast for the review sample.
Ultracast figures and accessories are available online from their website
