Hi Chris,

I have done this bust. Its a fantastic kit. I used the box art as reference. The only part of the box art I did not like was the smoke effect on the face. As far as I know all us fighter aircraft in 1944 had closed cockpits & I think the smoke effect was too strong, but that's just my personal opinion.

I have attached some pics of mine (don't know if they will help?)

If you want any advise I will help as much as I can.

Enjoy the kit!

Hi Chris, this is a nice bust with lots of characters. Apart from the box-art pictures you can find on the Young Miniatures website, I attach some bigger high resolution pictures of the original box art of this bust here. These pictures are shared on Facebook by Michael Lee who is the original box-art painter for this bust. Hope this helps.
