Honour the airmen of the First World War with our range of Great War pilot busts — 1/12th-scale resin model busts of the most celebrated aces of the Royal Flying Corps and beyond. Sculpted in the UK with fine facial and uniform detail, each WWI flying ace bust makes a striking display piece and a rewarding painting project.
The collection includes Victoria Cross airmen and legendary aces — Billy Bishop VC DSO, Albert Ball VC DSO, James McCudden VC DSO, Edward ‘Mick’ Mannock VC DSO, Lanoe Hawker VC DSO and author-aviator Cecil Lewis MC. A combined McCudden & Mannock bust set is also available. See all Great War busts »
Busts live and die on the face and the leather flying kit — the areas where a fine sable brush earns its keep. Our Kolinsky sable brushes are built for exactly this kind of blending and detail work. Shop paintbrushes »
