excellent

 

[Figurini]

comics style not for me.

Nicely sculpted and posed figure, however the face does appear a bit like a caricature. I think that can be easily fixed however, and I would definitely trim away the bangs and sideburns from this sculpt if I were painting this one. Otherwise this has a great deal to like about it.

 

[Aveleira]

It's a nice sculpt! Maybe the painting it's not helping the look of the figure... is not real like.
I ain't a fan of this type of painting. Seeing this painted by another person, maybe changes this incial idea about the figure.

I concur with earlier comment that this figure is more comic-bookish in appearance; as if one of Archie's friends doffed a German uniform found in the attic.

 

[Redcap]

Unless it's a trick of the camera, the face looks awful and 'comic style' as others have suggested. Coupled to this, the face looks to be that of a bloke in his late 30's or early 40's; hardly the face of Germanic youth who made up the bulk of their fighter pilots.

I have to repeat the others before me about the face. I must admit, I don't like it at all.

The face is like a caricature.It ruins the whole figure . I wonder were the sculptor got the idea . He looks anything else but a German pilot of this period ......and in dire need for a haircut !

I think this looks more like a pilot out of Hogans heroes than the luftwaffe.

Sadly not the kind of thing I would expect from Scale75.

 

[Babelfish]

Nicely sculpted figure spoiled somewhat by the cartoonish face.

Nice figure but only up to the neck.
A new head is definitely needed to make it look "normal".

 

[Colin_Fraser]

Looks like Charles Bronson of Great Escape. The hair doesn't help the sculpt. But that can be fixed.

Agree with everybody about the face, and hair. A nice figure otherwise, I like the way the leather jacket is draped over the shoulders. Regards, SG

I don't want to have to "fix" a figure for that amount of scratch (75mm ain't cheap). I am not a fan of the pose either, but that might change with a different head.
