Genuine question: What are the devil-horns on his head?! Not seen those before.

Hi Steve, I think they are part of the communication set up. Offo took it directly from photos and art work. They are separate to the kit so can either be raised or lowered to the side if the helmet. I hope that helps.

I’m sure WW2 buffs on here will answer better than me.so if anyone has the info please let us know.

The "horns" are clips to hold the goggles in place. Usually, this are folded down on the side of the helmet.

Thank you Bonehead, we were wondering too. It make sense. The good thing is you can have them up or down it’s up to the modellers to decide. But it clears things up.

Nap thank you for the photos, the first one is what Offo used to design the bust.

Thanks again guys.

Has this bust been released? I ordered one towards the end of November and got confirmation of order, but yet to receive it. I sent a couple of emails to TFB without any answer, so if anyone knows anything, greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Todd

Just curious if anyone has any idea regarding this release? I have attempted to contact TFB with no response and unsure if this has even been released.

Cheers,

Good morning!
I have the same problems with this company.I ordered a bunch of figures last March and payed with paypal.
Some weeks later some figures (with missing parts) arrived.Many emails later then in October some figures again arrived.I ordered (Ohhh,how stupid I am...)the news from them to reduce their postagecosts and they promised to deliver.Again,after waiting some weeks some figures and some missing parts arrived with allways missing some again.Now I´m in the possesion of two figures with missing parts,and two paid,which never arrived.
The last email was,that they send these things two times to me.......
Direct contact.......nothing.........contact via FB........nothing..........
Perhaps they read these lines and do the right things!!!!

I don't know if this explains it, but I know Steve was quite unwell last year and he's gone quiet on social media.
