Work on the cockpit... Not a realistic paint, just made to obtain a nice result with the egg.

I've placed the cockpit in the plane, just to give you an idea of the final result. Cockpit is not glued yet; must receive gloss varnish before oil wash...

The first primer coat was useful to show some defaults and mold line. After sanding, second primer coat...

Well, today my goal was just to paint the helmet in yellow, and work on the lozenges of the Fokker.

So, I painted yellow... And Found that I had a little bit of time to paint the suit... Then the bread... Then... Finally, I've painted all the figure!
But it's not finished yet, I have to use figurinist techniques (lightening, darkening...)

I've discussed of the bread with a figurinist mate some weeks ago. How to paint that? He tried to help me but was not convinced with the result he obtained. He said me to try a base of yellow, ochre and brown... More than that, the bread cushion is not the same overall!!!
So, I've made some trials and made a mix of yellow and ochre brown. For the rear of the bread, more yellow than for the top; and on the top some touches of brown... I'm proud of the result!
You can see also on the helmet a white dot that is censed to be the reflexion of the light - so the light is coming from the left of the pilot.

The suit is painted in "Russian uniform" and the lower part in... "Mud" from Panzer Aces!

Oh, and I also placed the refueling probe on the aircraft...

Pilot is finished. As I'm not figurinist but iconoclast, I've tried what can give as result Citadel inks and pastels...

...Well, sounds good for me...

I've also varnished the seat and the aircraft with Klir, and prepared the base...
