Hello For a change with seated pilots, we made an US advisor in Vietnam, 1967-1969 era. Note he is not necessarily related to aviation : Cheers Norbert

Hello For the F-15E, we added the WSO figure, for the same 80s - 2000s era so far (in the back seat) : Cheers Norbert

I know that, it was even so in vietnam, in the Air Force, and even Robin Olds had his knife pocket cut by some of his guys when arriving in his unit in Vietnam. However, The knife pocket you see is the one on the G-suit and I never saw it cut out (and also never saw a knife inside) Cheers Norbert

many thanks for the pictures. Your mask seems to have an extra short cord from the divider to the helmet connection. Mine is much longer. Even on the video here : first picture shows it short (under the combat edge hose), and at 4:11, you see that there is even a prolongation cord in use (the one in spiral) that you see hanging, but your remark is interesting and I will take it into account

Many thanks for your input. Here we have what I would call a demo team version, as was requested to me by some modellers. The cable on the left side is the com cord. I know that the MBU-5 from vietnam war era was still sometimes in use, but you usualy see MBU-12 mask on pictures from the desert storm era. SEAWARS were, as you said, in use at this time, but they are fixed to the parachute riser buckle, which is not provided here, as it connects to the seat, and may be provided with the seat straps. For the fly over water, a LPU life preserver is also missing on this version, will come with

We have already F-16 and F-18 pilots in 1/144. For this one, we will design before the WSO for the 2 seaters

Hello i'm still on USAF aircrews from the 80s-2000s era : we adapted the F-16 pilot that was designed recently in order to get A-10 and F-15 versions, modifying arms and legs positions : Inside the A-10 : and inside the F-15 : cheers Norbert

1/48 wheel chocks-USAF/USN/USMC: Vietnam era to present
norbert replied to B-ONE27's topic in Jet Modeling
Reedoak has both vietnam and modern versions of US Navy wheel chocs, in different scales, designed on scans from the real things -
Yes, the era of The Final Countdown
-
of course, they were first designed for Tamiya 1/48 kit

Hi Regarding US Navy aircrews, I had a gap for the périod mid 70s to early 80s. So we made a F-14 aircrew of the first years, with helmet and oxygen mask that was in use before "top-gun 1", so before 1981. However, as I do not have a F-14 available, i installed them in an Intruder in 1/32 scale : Cheers Norbert

Hi Here is an american F-16 pilot equiped with a HGU-55 helmet and the former MBU-12 mask, so a bit old style, and wearing only the seat harness and the G-suit : 80s - 2000s era, or later depending to the countries, squadrons and pilots. These gears were commonly used by several countries in the world. The type of pilot I could see in the "good old days" (was not always good, but I spend some good time on airfields...) cheers+ Norbert

in 1/32 scale, we made a version with the additional helmet boom mic, on the existing pose we scaled down the F-4J RIO made for Tamiya F-4J in 1/32 to 1/48 scale : Cheers Norbert

Hi, Reedoak has now a 1/32 US Navy phantom II F-4J crew, for the era from 1969 to the end of the 70s. They are equipped with APH-6A helmets and MS22001 mask, with butterfly bayonets, one of the possibilities of that time. Here in the Tamiya kit : We made also a 1/48 version, but for the F-4B, that finaly has different hand and arms position despite trying to keep the same pose: Cheers Norbert

Hi, it's not what we usualy make and it was at the origin just for one person, but we finaly redraw it completely to bring it closer to the 1962 original drawing : Here with 1/32 scale figures, the smaller one is in 1/48 size. However, with such figures, it's difficult to speak from scales : cheers Norbert
