I noticed one of my stuka gunners faces had the flesh tone left off the face,but his eyes eyebrows and teeth are painted.
Heres a pic, its a cloudy day here, so thats the best I can do.
So is this type of thing rare with figures?

No - different runs of the same fig often have different flesh tones. I like to think they are trying different shades to find the most realistic but I think it has more to do with cost, production variation, etc...
You'll notice this on the paras that came out recently through WM compared to the original ones, and on the S1-S3 USMC. Nothing out of the ordinary there.

I have the Stuka crew figures that came with my origional S1 Stuka (from TRU) and the figures that came with the most recent variant, the tropical Stuka. They are the same figures, but the paint for the flesh has changed in tone in the four years that seperate the two releases. If anything, it gives us a little more variety, should we get multiples of the same type of figure
