Nice Bird and great work on the figures!

Just found this. Good job! I was planning on doing this will the same kit, although I had a hard time getting figures for the pilots. What figures did you use there?

Thanks guys. Austin, the figures were made up of a mixture of bits. I'm not 100% sure about the pilots but I think they were old Matchbox or more likely Airfix figures with the heads from the Italeri NATO pilots set 1246 (if you look here plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.aspx?id=603, it's the bottom row extreme left guy I think). The gunners heads were from ground crew in that set too. The port gunner's body is from the Caesar Modern US Army set H030. The starboard gunner's torso is from a SAW gunner in the Revell US Infantry set 02520. I'm not sure where his legs came from! If I was to do it again I'd give the gunners proper helmets as well instead of just headsets.

Kit Headley
great idea

My proposal is to add some shiny varnish, but apart from that it's a very cool idea and build 👍
