Re: pilots

Great news, William.

An idea. Why not offer packets of unpainted pilot figures as well for those of us who might like to customize them, depending on what plane and air arm is involved?

That's an interesting thought, or they could include a couple of unpainted in each package.

Well - if you're gonna paint them anyway - just paint over the pre-painted ones! Why do you need to have them unpainted?

Re: pilots

Will we still get pilots in poses like the Vraciu pilot?
I think that figure looks pretty neat

My thought was that unpainted pilots would be priced cheaper. A lot of us---not necessarily myself----might appreciate that.

Well, that is certainly true in my case.......problem is, I don't have the skill to do a good paint job on figures.

PS: That is GREAT news, William. THANKS!

A few folks out there probably would prefer to go with the pre painted pilots and tend to agree that is the better way to go. For those of us who like to do our own mods, no problem painting over. This would also seem to be another case where the folks at Hobby Master are realling paying attention to their customer base. Great job Hobby Master!
