Pegaso Models Kamikaze bust - The Strike of the Divine Wind...

[smudger1960]

Great Bust! I'm not bust guy, but lately I have gained much interest in busts... soon I may try one,
and this is a good choice...
Brian I must agree with Don, I see you doing something very cool around this one

Regards
Pedro

Hi pedro,i will definatly be adding something mate

 

[Aveleira]

don, I was actually thinking about a partial cockpit, watch this space

It would be great!!! I imagine seeing part of the metal, on this sides, the sit and a part of glass cover.
If I was able that's how I would do it...

Smudge will you have it finished for Euro? They are looking for a best of show, so if you start now you have a few weeks left to amaze everyone.

Re the scarf ... In a power dive he would be in negative G, so the scarf would surely float about

cool bust

Beautifull work on sculpt and paint.
Not my period of interest.

Great face great action, but one thing puzzles me , does it work when you see the stand ! hard to tell as it is all photo shopped into a black background .
Just a minor observation.

Ron

 

[Mariobusta]

Amazing ! Bring on more Pilot busts .

 

[Sturm Grenadier]

Excellent point about the stand Ron. As far as a bust stand, I can see this pilot in a partial cockpit, diving with the angle of the stand, but you raise a good question about displaying it straight up. This is however a very powerful and dramatic bust, one of the best I've seen on this subject. It's bound to be very popular, and displaying it will be very interesting. Regards, SG

 

[marta]

must have
beautiful

 

[alamac]

Now that is impressive, another for the wish list
Well done

 

[tonydawe]

That's a beauty.

This is a really animated bust, one of the few I can recall.....
While titled as Kamikaze, this could also depict most pilots from the early war period to the end part.....

Heck even a pilot of the Jet powered 'special attack force' aircraft, the Ohka so that opens the depiction rage from Pearl Harbour to the Coral Sea, Midway and up to the Okinawa campaign.....

bound to be popular purchase

 

[Gaudin]

Works for me!

I actually imagined cockpit shattered by Allied bullets, wounded warrior taking last dive for the emperor. Scarf works in that setting too.

If manufacturer is clever about it and casts some copies in light foam they may find this become popular with radio controlled aircraft market too.

 

[Kisifer]

FANTASTICOOOO!!!

"Pity the missing arms, at certain angles, but in my opinion"
I agree about that, but I think that in a second view, our perception imagines, or understans that he is driving the plane to his target, and the initial impression of "maimed" disappears.
