I cannot praise Ultracast enough. This figure, their only 48th release, is simply mind blowing. It has more detail than some 1/16 figures! Add to that flawless casting and zero bubbles, as well as a reasonable price, and this is a must have figure. I hope they make some more quarter scale figures (I want their 54mm late-war Luftwaffe pilot in this scale!)
Here he is with, erm, Joseph Priller's plane.

Hey Jason
He is a great looking figure, and you have made him come alive with your painting mate!
Funny that the wide eyed look seems to detract from most figures I've seen in 1:35 scale, but here it seems to work just fine
Good stuff
Brad

That's the smallest I could go for the eyes in this scale, I had to use a sharpened toothpick to paint them! They are just a pinprick of white next to black. I couldn't get the pupils centred so I went with the shifty eyes look.
I should note he is freshly painted, I just finished him before I took photos. I have to flat coat him once the oils dry.
