If you’ve contemplated, built or painted any figures you will no doubt run across the name of Mike Good. He is the world’s best figure sculptor. He is well known for the perfect proportions, excellent faces and natural poses.

Mike’s latest work for Ultracast is a Mid-Late War Luftwaffe pilot. Packaged in the typical Ultracast style of a zip lock bag attached with a staple to a card stock backing. In this case the card stock carries a photo of the actual figure painted up from the front. This will be very helpful to the modeler.

The figure itself is molded in light caramel colored resin that is perfectly cast with no bubbles or blemishes anywhere. There are five pieces of resin. The largest is the single piece body with minimal flash between the legs. Clean up will be a breeze. Then there are the two arms with the right one being placed on the hip while the left one looks relaxed at the side. The arms are attached at a natural seam so assembly will be easy. Two heads are included. One head has the flight helmet with goggles. The other one has a billed cap. Either one will be interesting.

The world’s best sculptor, flawless resin, easy clean up, a natural pose, perfect proportions, excellent face along with the choice of two heads, you can’t ask for more in a figure. The price makes this a great first figure for modelers wanting to practice their painting. This Luftwaffe pilot is another winner from Ultracast.

Highly recommended

Building models since the age of 7, I’ve become known for my Bf-109s and helicopters. I currently run Werner’s Wings. I was previously the ‘star’ of the Master Class Model Building Video series. I’ve been published numerous times on various website, including Hyperscale and ARC. My work has been in FSM and Great Scale Modeling 2001, as well as, numerous other model magazines. I’m a published author with my Squadron/Signal Walkaround book on the Kiowa Warrior. My models have continuously won many regional and national awards. My unique model photography gives my models instant recognition for their historical perspective.

I’m a retired from the Army after 21 years of flying Cobras and Kiowa Warriors, including tours in Iraq, Bosnia, Korea, and Germany. I’m also a retired Flight Officer for the Baltimore City Police and flew their helicopters chasing bad guys. I’m currently flying Cobras and Hueys with the Army Aviation Heritage Foundation.

I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart, Yvonne, for 42 years. Our daughters have blessed us with six grandchildren. My passions continue to be his family, friends, helicopters, models and airplanes, especially the Bf-109 and my beloved AH-1 Cobra. My motto has always been - MODELING IS FUN!
