A bit more progress guys, unfortunately harsh lighting..must do better...
A bit of a rethink on the colours after reading the posts on http://www.planetfigure.com/threads/the-few-on-progress.62850/
so I have done a couple of light washes in aghh!!! Luftwaffe field blue to fade the colour a bit but the hard lighting does no favours...
anyway, here they are...

Both efforts are coming around nicely Marc.
As for the goggles, study the right hand pic that Chris sent and notice that the inside padding of the goggle is visible through the lens, as well as the leather helmet underneath. Try and duplicate that, then add numerous gloss coats. I use future. Perhaps Google some pics of that same model of goggle so that you can better tell what is visible through the lens. Take into account that on some goggles one could change colored/tinted lenses. I don't know that if on the RAF one that is possible.
Here is a pic of my current project. Hope this helps.
