Purple Pilot

Hey guys,
Been wondering about this for awhile now and it seems as it's not limited to just one plane. I don't have pictures but I'm sure you guys know what I'm talking about.

My 21C 1/18 Bf-109 Graf Starburst pilot looks like Barney The Dinosaur. Meaning, his face is a nice shade of purple like he's been choking on a chickenbone. This is also evident with my 21C 1/32 P-51B, the pilot's face is a nice shade of flourescent orange.

Did all the S1 series with these particular models have plastic coloring defects? And were they corrected on later production runs?

Just my curiousity.

Reminds me of 21st's last few series of figures who looked like they suffered 3rd degree radiation burns. Or the coffee colored German figures. :roll: :roll:

Your pilots will be ok, just showing the effects of high G forces. :D

Don't have one readily available. Hopefully will post one when I get home next week on R&R.

Mrs. NWarty is a little miffed that her home office is full of unopened boxes of 1/18 & 1/32 planes that I've purchased/acquired since my deployment. February and March were good months :twisted:

but if I saw a purple pilot

I'd rather see than be one"
