Painting Pilots

[davidk]

I'm putting together a P-47 Tarheel Hal I picked up from Arden.  As I got it on the bench I noticed the pilot was loose in the canopy... and he was a wretched figure.
I printed a new pilot and prevailed upon Michael for his artistic skills and he sure did not disappoint.
Here's the progression and a comparison of the completed pilot to the original.
Thanks Michael... you're a talent. I might call him Herky after one of the WWII P-47 Pilots.
The original pilot looks like he's scared silly.  The new pilot looks he and P-47 are a great team.

Herky is installed... and he looks great.
