PJ Production of Belgium makes some awesome products and from figures to conversions in all the popular scales. This items is 1/32 NATO pilot seated in his aircraft. The kit is simple with three parts (two arms and body). Cut off the pour spouts and glue the arms on to start. I used a little Squadron white putty to insure the gaps were sealed and then cleaned the putty off with lacquer thinner for a smooth finish. The kit was primed and set aside to cure and we were ready to paint.

Painting is straightforward. The face was painted with acrylics from Andrea an sealed. the uniform was base coated in NATO green. The mask base coated in black, the helmet in white and the gloves in dark tan. All of this was sealed and the detail painting was started with the lap belts and straps. the boots were coated black and other details were picked out. Seal again and I added a light oil wash over the figure. Highlight were picked out with lightened filters and some minor dry brushing and the kit was sealed. Lastly, the visor was coated silver and then clear green in several coats.

Casting was superb and the sculpt is excellent. This would make a great addition to maybe an F-104 in NATO colors. Highly recommended.

My thanks to PJ Production and IPMS/USA for the opportunity to review it
