Master Details have released a very neat 1:32 resin figure of a U.S.A.A.F. taxi guide - a ground crewman who perched on the wing of a fighter to steer the pilot safely around the airfield.
1/32 U.S.A.A.F. Taxi Guide, World War Two
World War Two fighters with big, round radial engines and tail wheels required ground crew personnel to ride on the wing to act as a taxi guide because the pilot could not see over the nose of the airplane. Probably one of the most famous photographs of the time shows Glen Eagleston's P-47 taxiing in from a mission with the taxi guide on the wing. Master Details is proud to provide you with a meticulously detailed multimedia figure kit depicting a taxi guide in dungarees, field jacket and helmet to add an element of life and scale to your next project. Happy Modeling!

Item #32061 is available now - Price: $14.99
