Squadron-era figures for 1990s NATO airfields

Prepared for model makers aiming to recreate realistic flightline scenes, this Italeri set supplies carefully posed personnel suitable for 1/72 displays. The Italeri 1246 - 1/72 NATO Pilots and Ground Crew Model Kit is focused on providing authentic-looking staff for maintenance and flight operations.

Technical detail and equipment accuracy

Models show creases, straps and small service items that reflect the kit and uniform styles of the period. These details support accurate painting and help the figures hold up under close inspection.

Enhancing Your Diorama

Integrate the figures with ground support gear and aircraft to create preflight checks, refuelling stops or repair scenes. Their proportions work well with other 1/72 elements to build a cohesive display.

Intermediate modelling skills are recommended for neat assembly and painting, though beginners can achieve good results with basic tools and patience.
Neutral greys, olive drab and muted tans are common choices. Consult period reference photos to select accurate shades for jackets and trousers.
Use a fine applicator and tack the joins with tiny amounts of cement. Hold parts in place until the bond sets to avoid misalignment.
Yes, careful cutting and pinning allows you to mix parts to create custom poses, but test fits before final gluing.
Keep unpainted parts in a dry, dust-free box and avoid direct sunlight. Label sprues to track parts for future builds.
