No worries guys, she is properly dressed.
Modern Armies in Miniatures does a Pin-up Girl in 3 scales:
1/24, 1/32 and 1/48

Judging from the salute, has she a Polish ancestry?

She's "saluting" in the Polish-style, which is to say, with the index and middle fingers extended, and with the thumb & remaining fingers curled. But she is saluting with the WRONG ARM!!!

She should be saluting with the RIGHT arm...

Whether or not she is of Polish ancestry is better left to the imagination; she's definitely Caucasian, judging by her physiognomy...

She has a cute figure, an any case! I would probably alter, i.e, re-sculpt her chin and jaw-line into a bit "lighter", more feminine aspect, if I were to buy one of these...

Eeeeeeuw! She's an ugly dog! Wonder if she had an unfortunate experience with a certain magical fairy from another thread?

Her face reminds me of the friendly cafeteria lady from my university days. When she was on duty she never needed to check if you put enough food tickets in the bowl to pay for your meal...

Maybe the sculptor needs to brush up on what an attractive American girl's face should look like..?

That "thing" that she's wearing on the top of her head doesn't look very "American", either! I think that I'll "pass" on this one...

Jennifer Gardner among other great Hollywood beauties have the same if not stronger features.

If anything she is wearing too much rouge.

If the face represents the rest of the body, I'm glad she's THAT dressed up

Masterbox has done a much better job in plastic on their 1/24 scale series. Maybe replace the head with a Mastetbox one.

Except when the beholder has no taste and no appreciation of the human form. Every bloody pin-up female figure it's the same garbage. Just as bad as the types who greet every new kit with "why isn't it X?"

Be really funny to find out the sculptor was using Jennifer Garner or Hilary Swank Or Emily Blunt as his model.

Well at least the face looks more like "Alice Schwarzer" or "Renate Künast".
