WWII Navy Pilots with Moto Tug

Tamiya's 1/48 sclale WWII Navy Pilots with Moto-Tug is available online from Squadron

Sometimes you have to do something different.

Recent opportunity for me was Tamiyas appealing pilots-tug set, which fitted nicely to a Eduard F6F Hellcat I had just started with. “Something different” refers to figure painting, which I had not tried so far.

I liked the poses of the five pilots: I think they can be arranged in a nicely interacting scene but look quite meaningful and descriptive as standalone figures as well.

I exchanged some of the life jacket and parachute straps with painted strips of Tamiya masking tape, painting was done with airbrush, dry-brush and colours from Gunze and Tamiya.

The motor-tug is a nice little and well equipped model which I loved to build. All in all I had much fun with this new experience!
