Paul just sent this to me and I thought you might find it interesting.
". . .Fantastic 1/12 scale busts of WWI Italian Ace
Francesco Baracca!
The Baracca busts are offered either with a full, bare
head, or with an officer's cap showing the rank of
Captain (three stripes). In each case the likeness is
remarkable. With information graciously provided by
Paolo Variale, the Scientific Advisor of the Museo
Francesco Baracca di Lugo, Italy, every detail has
been rendered perfectly. From the detailed ribbons
(included/identified in the painting instructions) to
the propeller superimposed on a radial engine of the
Aviation Service Badge on the front of the officer's
cap, it's all there!
Done in 1/12 scale, these are companion pieces to the
1/12 scale busts of Richthofen, Rickenbacker, Udet,
and Goerth included in the 1/48 DML WWI Aircraft kits
back in the early 90's (as well as our own recent
Raoul Lufbery!).
