Hi all there!
Almost finished this one. Still need to correct some things. I've painted the life vest in green/grey, Front lobes supposed to have been hand painted in yellow by the pilot to add visibility.
I hope you like it. Any comments or suggestions more than welcomed
Cheers,
Gerard

Hi Gerard

Lovely looking work & I'll be using this for reference when I do my one.
Any chance you could share your paint mixes for jacket & vest as this is the version I'm planning to do as well.

Thanks in advance
Mike

Darn fine paint examples too - Vest Green & yellow will be helpful.

I would hazard a guess at Scale75 Mike.

Beautiful rendition of this bust Gerard

Thanks for sharing. I will save this thread as reference for when I eventually get mine. This one is turning into the Ford Focus of the figure scene, eventually everyone will have one

I couldn't say. I left it aside several times to the point of painting at least 3 more busts meanwhile...
