Custom F-86 Crew Chief figure
I posted this in the 1:18 forum also, but thought I'd post here in the proper thread as well. Not sure how accurate it is, but I made a satisfactory crew chief figure using the body of one of the M113 tanker figures (the one in the plain fatigues) with the head switched to that of a BoB Jeep driver.
Since getting the surplus Viet Nam tanker figures, I didn't have much use for the M113 figures until now. Its a pretty basic-looking ground crew figure and would probably work in any aircraft dio from WWII through Viet Nam

Great work with the Crew Chief.
He certainly looks the part though must admit I`m with Spudkopf on the cigar & oil rag...LOL
Just great to see Ground crew for any of the aircraft & surprised BBI nor XD haven`t picked up on that at all (WWII,50`s,Nam,Modern).
Though with the likes of yourself,Mig29 & a few others,ground crew are indeed coming onto the scene.

Good job! It's the basic generic-looking figures that have plenty of potential for modifications. I'd say he's fits the bill for ground crewman. I have that same plane! So did we all come to a consensus about the meaning of "Squitch?" It sounds like an animal to me.
