Qing Yi Miniatures from China has a range of 1:32 scale (54 mm) military figures, to which they have recently added a WWII Soviet Fighter Pilot.

The figure is ambitiously – and totally successfully – cast in a single piece of resin and packed very securely in foam inside a shiny metal box.

From his boots, heavy greatcoat and gloves, this figure very effectively evokes the harsh conditions encountered by Soviet pilots. The parachute is also cast in place. Sculpting is excellent everywhere. The sculptor has even added recessed stitches in the parachute straps.

The rugged facial features and deep folds of the greatcoat add to the character.

Although this figure would most logically be suited to accompany a 1:32 scale Soviet aircraft model, the quality of the sculpting and casting would justify him as a project all on his own.

I hope that we will see more pilot figures from Qing Yi Miniatures.

Highly Recommended.
