norbert Posted March 29, 2024 Share Posted March 29, 2024 Hi Regarding US Navy aircrews, I had a gap for the périod mid 70s to early 80s. So we made a F-14 aircrew of the first years, with helmet and oxygen mask that was in use before "top-gun 1", so before 1981. However, as I do not have a F-14 available, i installed them in an Intruder in 1/32 scale : Cheers Norbert Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Viper_944FW Posted April 6, 2024 Share Posted April 6, 2024 (edited) Nice job on those aircrew, however the mask attachment hardware was different back in the day, this was a helmet from 1981 just before they transitioned. From VF-213 USS America Gonzo Station cruise 1981. Edited April 6, 2024 by Viper_944FW Quote Link to post Share on other sites
