Hello everyone

Young Miniatures RAF Bomber Pilot. Painted with acrylics- Jo Sonja and Vallejo, Scale 75. I did use some oils on the helmet. I hope you like it.

Nice one Matt - he's got a gritty, real world feel to him that other versions, good though they are, don't catch for me like your version does. The jacket and equipment are especially authentic - feeling. If I can ask, what were your colours for the sheepskin jacket - the leather is great! I have Young's USAAF pilot in the queue and he's got a leather A2 that I'd like to distress like you've done.

Cheers,
Brian
 
Thanks! The jacket was painted with a combination of scale 75 Brown Leather, Red Leather and Orange Leather. I added black and Vallejo Orange Brown. The collar was Vallejo Earth and Sunny Skintone, shade with black and some Andrea Ink.
 
Yup, this pilot turned out looking cool. I took notice of how the oxygen mask has just the right amount of sheen to look like rubber.

Another marvelous job Matt (y)!

Masterful bit of painting.
The textures of the clothing and equipment are perfect.

Cheers,
Andrew
