I recently acquired a Scramble Pilot for my aviator ranks.

I was able to pick up a few odds and ends at a recent club meeting. As a result, I was able to put together the Fighting Yank equivalent, modeled by a Defender. The belt is Action Man and the short white boots are from another FY set. Defender ankles don't work well with tall boots.

Fraternal twins to be sure.

They both look stunning Nate, great figures. Love the Fighting Yank outfit it has that great 60's look to it.

Very nice!

It's the first time I've seen a white helmet like that (Fighting Yank).

Very nice pilots!!!

I've come to appreciate these Knock-off figures in my old age, but as a kid I was a purist. It was only Joe. It is nice to see the comparison of these two pilots and I have to admit FY is growing on me. He does have that 50's, 60's feel.

Thanks,
Brian
cheers cheers cheers

The reason he's wearing a green cap is because I don't have a blue cap yet! In reality, Air Force personnel wore the same greenuniforms and caps as the army in the 50s-70s. The garrison cover was blue though.
