Heya, Folks,

I was wondering if any manufacturer made a resin 1/32nd scale pilot's helmet/flight bag...? I'd swear Legend did at one time, but now I can't find the figure --- just looking for a cool-looking resin bag in this scale.

Thanks, folks! (my four year old selected this emoticon --- maybe I'll be doing the Happy Dance if I find this flight bag...)

Regards and Aloha,

Johnny B.

Hi Johnny,
Not to shore,
Did you ever use Apoxie Sculpt ...it's a 2 part putty and you just mix the two parts together, it's like clay. You have quite a bit of time to sculpt the bag. Once the Apoxie Sculpt drys..it's like a rock.
It's very easy to use. A lot of Hobby shop should have it or you can go to there web-site and order it.

Wanted to let you know since you do 1/32 scale, that we are coming out very soon with in a week or two a 1/32 scale Modern Flight Deck Tow Tractor.
Hope the putty helps you out.

Cheers,

Andy

Heya, Andy,

Thanks for the tip --- I'm no sculptor but I think I'm going to give it a try...

Can't wait to see the modern deck tractor! Keep up the great work, Andy --- I'm still feeling your influence as a modeler from your Gateway Hobbies days oh so many years ago!

Regards and Aloha,

Verlinden supply 2 (one with a hand attached) with their 1/35 US Navy "Top Gun" Pilot #332

They say i's 1/35 but I have this figure and it stand a little taller than most of my other figures so it is probably closer to 1/32.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, Allen!

Ah, that's the figure (and helmet bag) I was thinkin' of!

I am going to try to sculpt the helmet bag first --- and if I can't swing it and do a good job, then I'll definitely pick up this figure.

Thanks a bunch, amigo!

Regards and Aloha,
