Pilots uniform is far too bright. During BOB most pilots wore No 2 uniform (battledress) which was a grey-blue. At 1/32 scale highlights should be darker as greases in uniform always appear darker. In true fighters pilots fashion top button was always undone. If it was very warm (middle of summer) jacket might be discarded, displaying a light blue shirt almost faded to white with too many washes. Or a white polo neck sweater if it was colder or operating over the sea. Gloves could be black or brown as many pilots purchased their own. Flying boots were normally of 1936 pattern and were black. Sculpt the model's face to be younger as the majority of these pilots were only boys. Enjoy your modelling.
