NOTES:

Resin. Nose Art Series #2

Here is yet another Nose Art beauty from the folks at Legend Productions. This one is 'Pilot's Dream' and the figure definitely fits the bill in that regard. Again, this isn't a figure that I recognize, so I'm assuming it is from the nose of a B-17 or a Lancaster. If anyone recognizes the source, please let me know.

It is cast in a creamy ivory resin that is used for all the best garage kit resin figures. There were no pin-holes or other flaws in the kit, however, the builder will have to remove the resin attachment blocks prior to beginning work. Typically, his one does not come with a base, but judging from the pose, one may not be needed. 

For those not used to doing resin figures, but would like to try one, they build very similar to any resin detail set. The parts will need to be sanded carefully once the resin blocks are removed and assembly is with superglue. It is a good idea to add pins into the arms, but it isn't absolutely necessary. Once the figure is primed, it can be painted with any of the standard enamel, lacquer, or acrylic paints.
