    Thanks a lot Barry. These will come in very handy to ring the changes when painting pilots. The goggles are especially interesting. I have been doing mine in that tinted yellow, but the clear and green ones will make an interesting variation. Not much change in the brown or black coats though.

    I think you want to write "Thanks a lot, Barry", of course!

    I agree these pics will be very useful for painting pilots or for historical purposes. Who knows what Barry holds out to us the next time?

    Nice! I've got a few b/w pictures of pilots in flying gear but I always wondered what it would look like in color
