All of the Reviresco kits I have purchased so far have come with a pilot. I think they are a teeny bit large for the scale of the model, but I like them!

Nice detail on them though. They paint up.well. The same crit on size has been made about Peter Pig, but what is the point of putting them in if you can only see the top of their heads. You might just as well have the W.o.W. blobs.

I shall defer to your point... Agreed! I do think the "bobble head" look goes great with the bovine camouflage!

Turned out great, Ken, Well Done. How did the landing gear trick work out for you?

Thanks Greg!. Since I painted the gear parts before I glued them in place, I did not sue any white glue on them... but they kinda held together on their own, and I was able to easily line them up...

Ken that turned out great!

Okay, am I the only one thinking about doing a Cowman SE5A now just for fun?

Thx! Have at it! Send us pics when you get it done! I think the Barn red works perfect with the Cow Spotted wings, but maybe you could find an even better color combo!

Love it! Nice paint job!

Great read and superb work...though I'm not to fussed on the over sized pilots....I'm a historical realism freak and anal bout silly things like that...

Thank you for putting together this construction series. Hopefully it will give others the encouragement to have a go with an insight as to what to expect out of the box.

The Games Workshop Citadel paints are superb. I also play Warhammer and all their kit are first class. I have just bought the new plastic work station which allows you to model with the tray on your knee. The new paints now come in air tight pots.

It makes the job so much easier to have the right tools

And one of those!

Thanks to everyone for the nice compliments! I had fun building it despite the hassles at times. I am working on the Tripehound, but Christmas and my health have been keeping me busy and away from the hobby room!
