Hello !
As a switch from modern US Navy thematic, here we have a new vitage civilian, 20s to50s era, with leather vest and a leather case. Could be for exemple a merchant (with a heavy weathered model behind) or a prewar ingeneer...
Wish you all the best !

Hi
Reedoak made a cold war era russian civilian truck driver, that can be used on the side of an Ural or Kamaz truck, on an airfield.
Available in multiple scales, as usual.

Love your products Norbert!
I have a hard time spotting the difference, would you mind explaining the difference?
Yes, it's realy a little detail : when the HGU-55 was first delivered, most of them had the old cast bayonet receiver. It is the device where the mask is attached to the helmet, on each helmet side. you see it under the visor strap :
However, the lightweight bayonet receiver slowly replaced the cast receiver, so with the years, it tended to replace the old style of receivers, except on the blue angels helmets. So even if it's a tiny detail, we made both versions that you see here on a US Navy HGU-55 (rigtht)and USAF HGU-55(left)
In the early 2000s, the navy HGU-55 was then replaced by the HGU-68. The USAF version is still in use today

Hi, Hope you all had a nice day
In addition to the Tomcat pilots of the 81 à 89s time frame, here are the versions for the next years :89 to 98 approximatively, new HGU-55 helmet, which is still equiped with the old style cast bayonet receiver
98 to 2004 approximatively, the HGU-55 has now the lightweight bayonet receiver
Yes, it is not a big difference...

Cheers

Reedoak offers also all his helicopter crews in 1/32, as all his carrier deck crews in 1/35. However, if you use 1/35 scale figures in the neighborhood, it will probably be better to go 1/35

Hi
we decided to offer the modern US navy wheel chocks we designed a long time ago, as I wanted some in 1/18 scale for myself, and they can also be usefull for some 1/35 helicopter models
In addition, we took the opportunity to offer them in other scales, like 1/32 and 1/48.
in 1/18 :
in 1/35 :
Cheers

Hi
We made a second standing modern US Navy fighter pilot, this time with open survival vest. The visor down version with leg garters is ready, but we will make also other versions without leg garters and visor up. So, that's the guy on the left on the picture :
I will show the other versions when they come
cheers

Here you have the choice of different scales : http://reedoak.com/#!/Modern-USA/c/13281246. Once the scale choosen, you will find the figures on several pages.
More up, at www.reedoak.com, you will find the new products, and the figures classified by country or thematic, and then by scale

Hello,
Our next figures are a US Navy pilot and RIO for the colourfull 81-89 era, with HGU-33 helmets and MBU-14 mask...
they are equipped to fit a F-14, partialy an intruder (pilote only) or a corsair II if we do not look to close to the leg garters..As usual, we do them in 1/72, 1/48 and 1/32 scale
We do also 2 versions of each, visor up or down :
and here is how they look in the Tamiya F-14 in 1/48 scale:
Cheers

Hello, hope everybody is fine !
We made a first russian seated fighter pilot in our usual different scales, in summer flight suit.
in 1/48 :
and in 1/32
However, in 1/32, we find out there are some relatively big sizes difference between the different trumpeter cockpits, so we went to a realistic pose. Some changes on the sticks positions may be necessary depending to the model
Cheers
