Model Cellar - New Release

[Guy]

I just recieved the below email from Paul, of Model Cellar Productions;

The Model Cellar would like to announce it's new release for November:
a 1/32 scale (54mm) WWI German Pilot & Mechanic.

Is he taking his flight suit off after returning from a successful mission? ...or is he putting his flight suit on, getting ready for what could possibly be his last mission? ...you decide!

This two figure set makes a GREAT accessory for any of the 1/32 scale WWI German airplanes from Roden or Wingnut Wings. They would also look good posed in a stand alone 54mm figure vignette, or in the increasingly popular "wedgie" next to the tail of a German fighter.

Sculpted by Mike Good, these figures have all the detail and realism as can be expected. The details are clean and crisp. And, as usual, the figures are expertly cast in The Model Cellar with no casting plugs and little to no clean up. ...just assemble, primer and paint. The set also contains a separate leather helmet and goggles laying flat which can be placed on the wing of the aircraft, or on the ground next to the pilot.

The kit particulars are:

WWI German Pilot & Mechanic
Item #MC32008
retail price: $41.00 USD

Nice! I was hoping we would see these in 1/32. A version of this has been around in 1/48 for years. I vote he's getting ready to go on a mission since he's wearing his peaked hat. If he just got back, I think he might be in his flying helmet and be a bit more oil stained.

Nice figures. It looks like an old Hecker & Goros figure set.

Thanks everybody!

For the record, this was not intended to be Lt. Goering. The figure set is intended to be generic. Rather, I tried (but not too hard!) to duplicate the face of Lt. Hans Pippart from this photo which served as inspiration:

And this figure set was not in imitation of the Hecker & Goros figures shown, but rather the set of 1/48th figures I did for Jaguar Models many years ago, as shown here:

Cheers!!

I almost bought the 48th scale kit last weekend; but I think I will wait and buy this one as it will fit into my collection better. Regardles of inspiration (thanks for posting that pic BTW), this looks to be another masterpiece Mike.

Looks like Goering

High,

very nice sulpt like all creations by model cellar.
The pilot looks a little bit fat and the face looks a little bit like Goerings ,who was a fat guy later in 3rd. Reich.

I have no sympathy for Goering but a pilot bust of him would be also interesting.

Kind Regards,Löbner
