norbert Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Hi A russian pilot in MSK-5 flight suit and harness for K-36 ejection seat is now available from Reedoak at www.reedoak.com... and a russian photographer is also onthe way, shown on CAD render here cheers norbert Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrea Bolla Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 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: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
norbert Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) 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.

Andrea Bolla Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Ok, that takes care about side details, still not possible to wear a standard boot over the watertight suit: producer website suggest both MSK-5 and VMSK-4 use same boots. https://dynaforce.ru/category/en/catalog-en/equipment-for-air-staff-of-air-forces/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
norbert Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 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 ?) cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrea Bolla Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Unfortunately is not my collection, I'm trying to get a full VMKS with the help of Ukrainian friend... I think you should just correct the side proportion of your boots to make them look ok: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Matt Foley Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Well those "boots were NOT made for walk'in". Apologies to Nancy Sinatra..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
okthree Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Looks like a good figure. I would like to see you guys release some modern US Navy pilots in flight gear someday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mingwin Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 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... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There is no problem to make a version visor up. There are some pictures with visor down, like here : https://goo.gl/images/Gbi6xb I think this comes when there is a photographer, maybe you can say more cheers Norbert Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flankerman Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 The Russian pilots had their visors down to protect their identity during the Syria deployment. Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
