When Piotr Skut was flying for the Khemed Air Force...
draken35:
Piotr Skut (aka "Szut" in the French version of Tin Tin comic "The Red Sea Sharks" ("Coke en stock" in French) was a mercenary flying for the Khemed Air Force on board of a monoplace (!) Mosquito. He was shot down by Tin Tin but they became friends.
RetroSF have released a conversion set to build a Khemedian Mosquito from the Tamiya one, at 1/72 scale.
After having removed all the parts from sprues (some friends here in Belgium call that method "my salad of plastic"), I've modified the cockpit interior to transform the biplace version into a monoplace one, moving the transmetter and the receiver.
I'm actually thinking how to add some stuff behind the pilot'seat...

...But I want also represent Skut/Szut near his plane !!!
Re-reading the comic book, you can see that its flying suit is a mix of different actual ones...
I've taken in my spare box two pilots from Hasegawa : a German one and an American one. I just to exchanged both heads, then I made in a tiny and very fine piece of plastic card the headband of Skut, because his is a one-eyed pilot.
(The other pilot will be used later for a "what-if" project...)
No.1:
Lovely idea- lets enjoy your build :-razz
