Default Ground crew and seat height



Clearly the guy in the cockpit is sat very high - the canopy would chop the top of his head off if closed!. So maybe as mentioned in prevoius posts it was adjustable for taxing, especially. Size of his (uncovered) head relative to cockpit/canopy can be gauged here as well though.

People tended to be a little smaller in those days, the average height of a man being 5' 8".
John Wayne towers above those people in any case.

Some people's propensity on this forum to bitch and moan about anything never ceases to amaze me.

The only way to check the size of the pilot is to see a pic with him standing next to the hurri...luthier??

landscape looking better but..and i know its WIP before anyone chips in...but the colours still off for the fields...looks more like france than southern England.

Everything else looks great to me.

cheers.

All we can say is this; we were sent from a future and this future did not have SoW.

Thanks Luthier, looking great.

Love the peeled back skin on the bomber. The crew look very incapacitated...very well done....no need for blood at all.

The leaves on the trees look great too.

The hurri pilot's head does look a bit on the small side but it may just be the lack of the helmet. I do think a lot of the real pictures we see feature a raised seat for taxying purposes. Your point regarding the gun sight was very well put I thought.

I hate to say this but I think the country roads are way too wide (when compared to the train carriage). You're hard pushed to fit two modern UK spec. cars side by side on many UK country lanes. I guess that would make a road of about 16-18ft wide. The main line rail carriages of the day were 60-70ft long and the carriage appears to easily fit within the width of the road. No biggie though.

Cheers
