The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  

The pilot figure is wearing his leather flight helmet with goggles and also has his parachute on as he gives a thumbs up.  So it would be perfect for a victorious pilot returning from a  successful mission.  The detailing is quite impressive in all the fine detailing including the parachute strap buckles. 

You can purchase this and other fine resin detail items directly from Aerobonus or from the many retailers that carry their products.  

I would like to thank Aerobonus for providing me with this product sample.
