1/32 Max Immelmann & Oswald Boelcke

[Gary Edmundson]

I've recently completed a couple of Wingnut Wings 1/32 scale Fokker Eindeckers, and wanted to share a few pictures of the figures I painted up for them. The figure of Max Immelmann came with the Fokker E.II kit, and the figure of Oswald Boelcke posed by his Fokker E.IV is from Model Cellar. Both resin figures were painted with Tamiya and Vallejo acrylics. Cheers!

The planes are really well done as are the figures and I like the leather of the jackets.

Cheers Simon

Beautiful work Gary. Excellent modelling on the aircraft and the figures really complement the models well. They are both very nicely handled, the Boelcke figure in particular looks really lifelike, I really like the flesh tones (it's an amazing sculpt by Mike Good).

I usually intend to do figures to go with my aircraft but so far I have never got round to it!

Lovely work on those models, the aircraft and the pilots are superbly done.

Fabulous work all round and the distinctive polished metal 'jewelling' effect on the cowlings is especially well done.

Yes, Nigel - Mike good's sculpts are really excellent indeed. He also did the Max Immelmann sculpt, but unfortunately the re-casts were done by an Asian firm for Wingnut Wings who didn't match the quality of ones like UltraCast or Model Cellar. I had quite a bit of cleanup/repair work to do on the Immelmann figure.
Cheers,
Gary

Gary,

I'm not sure if you noticed but someone put an airplane behind your incredible figures.

Great job!

Great work Gary.
I agree it was a shame that the quality of the casting of the WNW figures was poor.
