US Bomber Pilot WW2

[Slowpainter]

Recently completed an old Series 77 US pilot.

He is painted in acrylics with minor use of oils and enamels. He is a gift for a brother-in-law who is retired US air force. Had fun with the leather jacket.

Leather jacket is very cool... congratulations.

Agree. Do like the jacket. Did this one a looooonnggggg time ago. Could never settle on an emblem for the back. Decal looked too refined and free style just did not work for me. I do like your version.

Thank you for the kind words. The squadron was one serving in England in WW2 that I liked the look of. It's clearly not free hand - that would be too far outside my comfort zone on a gift. Using my brother-in-law's would have been a fantastic idea - didn't think of that....
