How nice Somebody's gonna make a stunning paint job of this

[Steve Edwards]

Wow! I think that this must be based on the famous Picture Post magazine cover picture in autumn 1944. The subject is Maureen Dunlop, who served with the ATA, the Air Transport Auxiliary, whose job was to deliver finished aircraft from factories to military airfields.

What a wonderful miniature! Thanx to LIFE Miniatures for releasing this one of Maureen Dunlop de Popp (1920-2012).
Here's a short article about the Spitfire pilot in the Sydney Morning Herald.

Hi Luc

Thanks for sharing this fine lookng release ...a excellent tribute to the brave ATA pilots flying all types of aircraft

She certainly is a very pretty lady

This is crying out for a paint hope we see one very soon

Always good to see a Life Miniatures release ...would make a nice 1/12th bust with all the parachute included

[Peter Day]

A beautiful figure - definitely one for me.

 

[Merryweather]

That is quite some sculpt -digital or physical!
I've always wanted to sculpt this myself but never got to it. Will have to get one.

sorry to say ,but the old lady is Mary Ellis, another great ATA pilot

 

[Steve Brodie]

Wow, wow and wow, plus whit-too-woo.

An excellent figure and long overdue tribute to the ATA pilots. Will there be a 75mm release as well?

 

[Airkid]

Interesting it's available in 1/32 as well, so will be a great addition to a 1/32 British aircraft model.

Thanks for the correction - shouldn't have trusted the Telegraph...

Found this one on the real Ms Popp on youtube: Anglia News from 2007 on her 70th anniversary.

Cheers

Great figure. Good to see a serious female subject for once.
I can't stand those boring girlie miniatures.

Irresistible little figure...well at 1/12th not so little...wonderful sculpting.

[elanlane13]

I have the 1/32 version on order, I'm looking forward to receiving it.

 

[Zastrow.cuirassier]

Have the 1/12 & 1/16 versions on order , waiting for them !

 

[theBaron]

See, I'd like a version in 1/20th, because that's a great figure to go with Maschinen Krieger kits. She'd work well as a merc pilot (they're the good guys in that 'verse).

Prost!
