| 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. Compared to the Real McCoy: Fraternal twins to be sure. -Nate

| They both look stunning Nate, great figures. Love the Fighting Yank outfit it has that great 60's look to it. _________________ WHO WATCHES THE VOLGANS... | |

| Very nice!
It's the first time I've seen a white helmet like that (Fighting Yank). _________________ clivvers - saviour of the huMAM race @ MAMageddon 2009 - 2099 @ clivvers MAM Nation: | |

| 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 | |

| Both great looking figures! Interesting you chose a Green Marine/Soldier cap instead of the blue pilots cap... He looks good! _________________ JIM...

In reality, Air Force personnel wore the same greenuniforms and caps as the army in the 50s-70s. The garrison cover was blue though. -Nate | |
