The Model Cellar would like to announce it's new release for November:
a 1/32 scale (54mm) WWI German Pilot & Mechanic.

Is he taking his flight suit off after returning from a successful mission? ...or is he putting his flight suit on, getting ready for what could possibly be his last mission? ...you decide!

This two figure set makes a GREAT accessory for any of the 1/32 scale WWI German airplanes from Roden or Wingnut Wings. They would also look good posed in a stand alone 54mm figure vignette, or in the increasingly popular "wedgie" next to the tail of a German fighter.

Sculpted by Mike Good, (Box art painted by Tim Farrell), these figures have all the detail and realism as can be expected. The details are clean and crisp. And, as usual, the figures are expertly cast in The Model Cellar with no casting plugs and little to no clean up. ...just assemble, primer and paint. The set also contains a separate leather helmet and goggles laying flat which can be placed on the wing of the aircraft, or on the ground next to the pilot.

Enjoy!

I remember the old 1:48 scale set


The figures were based on an image of Ltn. Hans Pippart being helped with his flysuit in June 1918. One of Mike Good's finest full figure work ups. And now to see it in 1:32 - Wow! Put me down for two sets.

I think we are going to see a lot of this set, a perfect companion to the growing range of WWI A/C kits .

Beautiful too of course.

"LIke" is just too soft for these. "Most impressed" just about does it.
