For as long as I can remember the only figures readily available
for 1/32nd aircraft have been the somewhat mangled figures you get inside
the kit box – usually sitting still - one hand on the joystick and not really
very good – well David from Wings Cockpit Figures has
come to our rescue with these beautiful figures for WWII ( and more WWI)
aircraft. We have lots of images and their particulars – with a window to
upcoming releases in our preview…
Sculpted by notaries in the business like Mike Good, Andrew
Cairns, Nino Pizzichemi and Stephen Warrilow these figures will bring life to
your otherwise personal-devoid aircraft diorama. With many allied countries and
more WWI stuff to come there is truly going to be something for everyone in
their series of figures – we wish them well!
For the future there has been a whisper of a seated WWI RFC pilot
to suit the Wingnut Wings SE5a and perhaps the Fe2b. An early war RAF Hurricane
pilot climbing out by Alan Ball, as well as a Luftwaffe bomber pilot for the
new Revell bombers. Nino Pizzichemi is doing now a standing Adolf Galland
figure and a Marlene Dietrich figure to mix and match with the Helmut Wick and
Hugo Sperrle figures.
Wings hope to produce a reasonable range of WW2 and WW1
pilots, mechanics and accessory figures - suitable for collectors as well as
aero-modellers. Let’s have a look at this
- the first releases for December from Wings.
