I see that Squadron has, on the back page of its catalogue, a 90mm scale model of "King" Kong, the Slim Pickens character from Dr. Strangelove. I don't know why he isn't named in the advert for the kit, perhaps it's for legal reasons.
But after looking at larger photos of this figure, all I can say is that figure bears little resemblence to the late, great Mr. Pickens. It looks a little like Jabba the Hut.
I'll bet if Slim served in the SS they would have gotten it right.

The above link to a model of Herr Pickens is given for strictly historical reasons, not to promote Hollywoodism.

Major Kong. The manufacturer clearly made no reference as such. It's a "NOOK-U-LAR warriror" or whatever they call it. Any likeness is purely a co-incidence.
And I think it looks like Gene Simmons more than slim Pikens, but, what in the wide world a sports do I know....
