    You might check with Dan Gross. He and I have been working together with some projects including 3D printed pilots. He has been painting them and in my view, is a master.

    Cheers

        Super! I used to paint my own figures and my wife did some, but Dan was just unbeatable in the quality of painting that he does. You can see some of his works on Hobbysquawk, under name Dan Gross. Here is a recent photo of a pilot bust he did for me for my new Flightline P-51D 1.6M plane.

        Best,

        Dave

          That is really pro. The figures I need done are all tankers and tank riders.

                Hi guys!
                NCO Retired, if you want to send me some figures, I can see what I can do. I'll PM you my E mail address and we can work out the details.

                Here's my Corsair pilot, he's a 1/7th (?) scale, most of the others are about 1/8th so I'm looking at half the size. Should be a problem.

                    NCO Retired,
                    Dan painted my FMS P-47 pilot Bob Johnson that I entered at Toledo 26. Don't know how he does it but my Bob was the most realistic pilot I have seen. The leather jacket looked like a real worn WW2 version. I highly recommend his services.
                    Best Regards, Rex

                      Thanks Rex, that's great to hear. The more I see of Dan's work the more confident I am I've come to the right guy. Looking forward to getting my tankers sorted out. Ed

                          Dan and I have made contact, looking FWD seeing his painted figures in the hatches.

                            Great to hear! Dan is a good man. He and I continue to work together on projects in 3D printing and scale WWII aircraft that we both own and fly.

                              Dave,
                              I have my P-47 ready with new radio, using your set-up %. hopefully this week at a larger, open space local r/c field. Will report after the test flight.

                              Best Regards, Rex

                                Sounds great, Rex. I don't see any reason why those settings shouldn't work just fine in your aircraft. Fortunately, the P-47 is a very stable and pretty easy to fly aircraft with wide tracking landing gear that usually don't make for too many negaitve surprises. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you have a great test flight with your plane and many more happy flights after that! Please let me know how it went!

                                Cheers

                                Dave
