(I couldn't find a thread for this figure so created this one. If there was one already, please delete.)
I've been eyeing this figure for my 1/6 scale "Air & Space" collection of figures and finally ordered it. Looking forward to adding him into my WWII Pilot/Aviator figure collection.
The figure represents Erich Hartmann, the highest scoring ace of all time with 352 aerial kills. Flying Bf 109s (Me-109s) against the overmatched Soviet MiGs and Yaks for almost three years, he accumulated his unrivalled score. Hartmann claimed, that of all his accomplishments, he was proudest of the fact that he never lost a wingman. He is also reputed to have said. "Get close .. when he fills the entire windscreen ... then you can't possibly miss."
