Here's a new 54mm or 1/32 of resin figure of a RAF Fighter Pilot Mid-Late War 1943-45 from Ultracast.  The unpainted resin figure is very rich in finely crafted detail and perfectly captures the look of an RAF pilot from this time period.  This is the perfect figure for the ever growing number of 1/32 kits that have hit the market in the past few years.  The original master for this figure was sculpted by Mike Good.  This figure will be a lovely addition to your display case as a stand alone figure or posed next to a 1/32 aircraft such as a Spitfire or ??? 

The figure shown in these photos was painted by Kevin McLaughlin, UE.

There are 1 unpainted figure in each set.  Clean up is very minimal and the body comes attached to a casting block at the bottom of the feet to avoid any loss of detail and the attachment point to the casting block is very thin.  The detail level and casting quality is flawless.   The oxygen mask is cast separately to assist in assembly and painting.  The detail on this resin figure has to be seen to be appreciated.

This is a great looking RAF figure and will be a wonderful item in a 1/32 diorama or even as a stand alone figure in your display case.
