ICM 132 Scale US WASP 1943-1945 3 Figures - Plastic Model Building Kit 32108

ICM 1/32 Scale US WASP (1943-1945) 3 Figures - Plastic Model Building Kit # 32108 The WASPs or Women's Air Force Service Pilots was a civilian Women organisation which were US Federal Service Employees. As well as training other pilots they would ferry aircraft around, and test aircraft. Their aim was to free up male pilots for combat roles. It is estimated that WASP members delivered half of all aircraft production in the US. As they were not classified as military, they had none of the rights or privileges, and were in the end pretty badly treated. Members only gained veteran status in the late 1970s with the award of a WWI Victory medal in the early 1980s. The kit contains parts to build three figures: two pilots and one ground personnel. All are what would be considered dressed for the period. In general the mould is crisp and clean with plenty of detail, and the images are very well sculpted.
