1/32 fans will be quite pleased with this new figure from Master Details. It is of an RAF or Commonwealth pilot dressed in either desert or tropical garb. In line with their other figures, this one has multiple options. For the arms, one get four of them so that a variety of poses are possible. In addition, there are four different head options. Two with the goggles pushed up, two with oxygen masks and two with the goggles lowered (yeah, I know that seems like six, but look at the images to see what I mean). In addition, you get two masks and an oxygen line.

This time, Master details has cast the heads, one of the masks and the O2 line in metal. The casting on both the metal and resin parts is world class with no discernable defects at all. The benefit of having the oxygen hose in metal is that it is more pliable than when it was resin so can be easily positioned. To take care of the lenses in the goggles, simply mix up some clear epoxy and stain as needed.

 The kit comes with complete construction and painting instructions. In all, another outstanding pilot figure that I know you will find useful for one of your upcoming large scale builds.
