Blackhawk and his plane! (finally!)
« on: May 07, 2007, 23:06:54 »
Hi all,

I've finally completed my "friend" that I was making in the friendship photo.
Blackhawk of the Blackhawk squadron. A comic book hero who was in charge of an independent fighter squadron during WWII, made up of pilots from various countries.

He didn't actually fly a Warhawk/Tomahawk, but I(and dad) found a G.I.Joe toy and modified it to suit this character. Also, The name of the plane fits very well. I have a reference photo somewhere, and I'll post it later if ya' like. His outfit changed a little as the comic went on, but this version is pretty true to his likeness, I think.

Very nice! This plane seems accurate enough and the right scale to go with Playmobil-klickies!  8-)
Personally, I'd like to find a modern fighterjet-model (F-15, F-16, F/A-18, F/A-22, F-35, Rafale, EF-Typhoon, ...) that goes as well with Playmo like this WWII-fighter... ???

Hi. thanks.

Here's a pic of Blackhawk for reference. He's also been drawn with a plain white undershirt which is the major difference. His logo has changed many times also.

I'm not sure if they are available in your area or not, Hadoque, but in the US there are a couple playmobil scale modern jets. One is an F-18. I can't remember the other. They are part of a line of toys that's intended to be an inexpensive version of the G.I.Joes. I'll see if I can get pics. These are "squatty body" like the Warhawk.

Very well done! I especially like the figure you made, the collar and the front of the jacket. Do you have some further information about the collar. Looks pretty perfect.

Little Jo,

The collar is taken from a fireman vest. The same kind as the PlaymoFriend gift klickies wear.  I sanded the front a little bit. I didn't expect it to look right from the back since I had to tilt it forward a bit to get it flush with the chest, but, somehow it turned out okay.

Here it is.

From a brand called Elite Operations.

I haven't actually checked for size, but the cockpit looks like it may suit a klicky.

A brand called The Corps! may also have a fighter.
