Here's my contribution:



You can tell just by eyeballing that the pilot's head is a bit small but on the other hand: what could ever make me think Oleg and crew can't figure the right proportions... they of course use decent reference materials as templates. Weird issue here.

Anyway, they'll get it right, I'm sure.

Have a nice day all


Real good contribution btw airmalik, it makes perfect sense

That pilot was made prisioner by some shrinking head african tribe,that's a possible explanation.
Makes perfect sense to me.

Head too small and canopy too big. I already concluded that.

Good pics, airmalik!

Your picture (above) takes me again to this picture of Stanford Tuck in his Hurri, which I posted earlier...the scale of 'pilot in cockpit' looks very similar to me.

Click on the thumbnail and in the enlarged picture his gunsight and line-of-sight are more evident. Other pictures and historic film indicate that the pilot would often lean forward a bit, putting their eyes lower and more in line with the gunsight when firing.

Notice the height of the cockpit canopy in those two shots... Very different!

I think we've been informed, thoroughly. LOL

Now, if my eyes will just stop blinking
