A russian pilot in MSK-5 flight suit and harness for K-36 ejection seat is now available from Reedoak at www.reedoak.com...

Does not look so good for a VMSK-4 suit.

 

Boots for this suit have completly different proportions: much wider on ankle and taller on toes  than a regular boot because they are weared on watertight integral socks and also termal socks;

Very prominent details on legs and arm side missing and the bulge on the pilot's bottom seems too short:

These are the components of Arctic High Altitude Anti-G Survival System:

And here how it looks weared with and without harnesses:

you did not read, I said it is a MSK-5 suit, not a VMSK-4. The VMSK-4 is more a high altitude suit if I'm correct, and as you said. An other project...

And the boots are the former version, in leather.

I think I'm not that bad with the boots

Boots in dynaforce catalogue  are naturaly the latest, they will not show the former, and

, as I said, will do the VMSK version later, probably with the newest boots (you're invited to Lyon with your collection, may I say ?)

Looks like a good figure.  I would like to see you guys release some modern US Navy pilots in flight gear someday.  

There are already some, but I'm so sorry, they are Sea-hawk/Super-stallion/Venom (and USMC helo) crews...:rolleyes:

or WW2...

 

Well, we are collecting infos

the details look amazing... but, to me, it feels a bit weird, because it has its helmet visor down... something i haven't see quite often on a "standing" russian pilot...

There is no problem to make a version visor up.

There are some pictures with visor down, like here :

I think this comes when there is a photographer, maybe you can say more

The Russian pilots had their visors down to protect their identity during the Syria deployment.
