this offering is for the 1/16 scale tamiya model kit shown. he is a japanese pilot from ww2. he is professionally painted with stick-on decals. he also comes attached to a soild oak base that is stained and urethaned for sealing and protecting. the decals are stick-on because the model maker wanted the decals to appear as sewn-on patches. if the decals were transfer type they would blend in too much into the uniform.
