US Navy modern jet pilot, sitting, by Reedoak


Recommended Posts

Hello

a long time I did not show something, worked on our first jet pilot sitting on his desk

US Navy, 2000 / 2015 era, roughly

the challenge was to get it inside

so, expect some adjustment depending the model you use.

Norbert, these are fantastic, what scale are you going to release?

We are in desperate need of good 1/72 pilot figures.

1/72 will be ready in a few days, 1/32 and 1/48 are done

Will be offering one with the JHMCS helmet?   Great stuff Norbert!

I take the opportunity to tell I'm looking for an intensive walkaround of one JHMCS helmet, if somebody has, PM me.

I may be able to help you out there, give me a couple of days.

Yes, but can not tell when so far, hoppefuly soon enough

 

A friend of mine is the current Commanding Officer of VMFA-232. I'll send him a message and see if he can help by "modeling" poses for you.

Would be nice if we could get some flying and dogfighting poses too.  If so, it would help if the control column and perhaps throttles could be modelled as part of the figure, leaving the modeller to make the connection from the handles to the lower part of the control column and throttles/console.

there are many options with the in flight sitted : Navy, USAF, era ? Helmet type, survival vest type, plane type (seats type, sticks locations, eventualy sticks type...)

So, progressing step by step, one by one

Awesome to hear. 

 

Looking forward to it all.

Wow the pilot looks great! 😀

This is exactly what I am looking for for my Radio controled F-18 Hornet. Can you also provide a pilot in a different pose in 1/11.5 scale?
Keep up the good work.

Regards,

 

Dave

Excellent job! The only issues I can see is that the CRU-103 Oxygen Regulators REDAR hose is missing the external comm cord and clamps, and the female QD connector fitting appears to be missing from the end of the hose. The Anti-G Suit hose is also missing. 

 

Hardly something you’d notice when installed in the cockpit, but it’s an obvious omission if you’re striving for absolute accuracy with your final design.
