First Look

PJ Productions develops an interesting assortment of quality resin aircrew figures and accessories for scale modelers tired of lifeless models. These figures are beautifully cast in resin and are simple to assemble and paint.

RAF Fighter Pilot

This set depicts a contemorary RAF fighter pilot with the current lightweight helmet and side-feed oxygen mask, G-suit, anti-exposure suit, and inflatable life vest. I'm not sure why the harness is painted creme/tan-color like a WWII pilot restraint, but you can get the correct colors from the vast number of photos online. This kit consists of five parts cast in tan resin and provide a figure that is seated in his ejection seat ready to fly.

If you're looking for a nice figure for your 1/32 Typhoon, Tornado, Hawk, or other modern RAF subject, try this one. You'll like the details!

My sincere thanks to PJ Productions for this review sample!
