The figures are made of resin, allowing for a high level of detail in uniforms, equipment and natural body poses. The varied positions make it possible to create realistic aviation dioramas showing bomber crew members working or preparing their aircraft on the ground.

Assembly

The figures are cast in resin and require cleaning and assembly. Due to the material used, cyanoacrylate glue is recommended. After assembly, the figures should be painted with modelling paints in colours typical for German Luftwaffe personnel from the Second World War.

Resin parts are accessories that enhance scale models – they can be cast or produced using 3D printing technology.

They allow a much greater level of detail than is possible with injection moulding. Because of the ease of production, resin parts are also often used to correct inaccurately designed elements in plastic kits. Resin components are frequently used to add extra detail to a model and may require cutting or modifying some plastic parts. In short-run kits they may also form an essential part of the set.

About Luftwaffe bomber crews

Luftwaffe bomber crews were an important part of German air power during the Second World War. Aircraft such as the Heinkel He 111 were used for strategic bombing missions, ground support operations and night attacks. A typical bomber crew consisted of several specialists including the pilot, navigator, bombardier and defensive gunners, all working together to complete their mission.
