Hello ! We have here an USAF pilot calling PC. he is displayed in a F-16, but same gears are used in F-15. Survival vest and holster for deployment. Will need to make the PC now, have to find slowly the outfits. cheers Norbert

Hello ! here is Reedoak first USAF modern fighter pilot : F-16 pilot, sitting, with survival vest, JHMCS helmet, pistol in holster, and without life preserver. typical for combat flights over dry aeras. have a nice day ! Norbert

It would be better to make the comparison with painting and photography. Painting is an art, photography need an optical 2D machine but it can also be an art, which is different. Each has his technics, the pose and sight are very important. The story behind also. All need experience and know-how. I admire what good figure sculptors are doing and I can spend money for their work...and my very first figures were hand sculpted for my own modeller use. It was a very good school and I often use this experience when I need to modify or complete surfaces until I do not see the difference with th

Many thanks Niels !

Hi In addition to the previous pilot hands on sticks, we converted our US Navy modern fighter pilot sitting 6 (RIO) to the JHMCS helmet. cheers Norbert

yes we have, but they will be entirely new figures

could not try with the E/F and legacy back seat, but since they all have Naces seat...

All Yes, in addition to 1/72 and 1/32, like all other Reedoak figures

shoud be done within a week or so

hello ! We did a variant of our US navy pilot sitting 5 with a JHMCS helmet instaed of the standard HGU68 helmet Here the RIO carries the standard HGU-68 helmet and in the model : cheers Norbert

Nope, get the same message : Due to recent regulations we do not currently offer our products to European customers. So to know what it is, EU regulation says a website has to say what is done with the collected datas, otherwise you risk some millions penalty and some years of jail. So since about one year, some US based websites block all EU access, in case it applies to them, or because they do not want to say what they do with the collected datas, or do not know what happens with the collected datas (using outsourced services) Norbert

Made some research on google. He did some other great memorial sculptures Even if the MBU-12 O2 mask was not in service at this time...the most important is the memorial cheers Norbert

Unfortunately, I can not enter the site, because of some s....d EU regulations... The model looks realy great. we reconignize well the PCU-3 harness and the survival vest, the life preserver, etc..and over all, we recognize Robin Olds and his sight. How is it that the model is not available to modellers so far ?

hello ! After the pilot, wa have a RIO...that personnaly I finaly prefer to the pilot, even in pilots place... (US Navy post 2000) at our usual scales, 1/32, 1/48, 1/72 cheers Norbert

Pandemic going back here, more chance to move...

It's ready for order, at www.reedoak.com. The left hand is over the throttle, knowing this position may change from a kit to another cheers Norbert

Hello ! We did another sitted mordern US Navy fighter pilot (post 2000), but hands on sticks this time. A bit more difficult to do, as the hands must be at the right place. Some had a sight at my "F-18 cockpit" in my mans cave... cheers Norbert

Hello ! As I was on the weight board operators, did one in a kneeling position, as often seen on the catapult area : Cheers Norbert

Here are the latest figures from Reedoak : US Navy fighter pilot thumb up, and standing flight deck weight bord operator : and a civilian race car gentleman driver, with tied at waist overall : plus a magazine photoreporter : (and famous scale modeller, in our small french world...) Cheers Norbert

there are also open exhaust in AFV blackhawk kits, the one with taiwanese SAR markings (bluehawk)

I delivered already one, but ww2 version, had to make our pilot a bit taller, was a special delivery. But out of that, started to collect for the F-4. If you know how I can find a PCU-3 pilot harness...

Many thanks Gene
