Here's a new
resin figure from Ultracast.
The five resin pieces
are molded in light cream resin with exquisite detail, this new figure sculpted
by world-renowned sculptor, Mike Good shows a British fighter pilot during the
Battle of Britain. The facial features show a smirking chap under a flying
helmet. The body is quite proportional with a quite natural looking pose.
I would expect no less from Mike Good. He is wearing a Mae West life
preserver along with his flying boots.
The parts breakdown fall on
natural seams. This also ensures that the there will be no need for
filler. The main part of the upper body includes a beautiful tunic with
Mae West. The lower portion of the body includes the trousers and the
flying boots. The two arms are beautifully cast with the fingers in a
natural pose. The only other part is the head, which I previously
described. Everything is keyed for a proper fit. The casting blocks
are quite fine considering the size of the parts. Cleanup is easy and
simple.
If you haven’t seen the figures
from Ultracast they are absolutely gorgeous and this one is no different.
So if you’ve got a Tamiya Spitfire or Pacific Coast Hurricane this will be a
great addition to your model and provide a lot of visual interest and sense of
scale. This would make a relatively easy first figure model, but would
also be a great canvas for the experienced figure painter. Mike Good
sculpting ensures great facial features, clothing and a natural pose, and a low
price, along with an ease of assembly makes this a great figure and typical of
the Ultracast line.
