Looking for spare pilots

To be honest with you, I think you're better of modelling the aircraft without a pilot. Have it sat on the deck with the cockpit open. That's how most aircraft spend the vast majority of their time. If you *must* include figures, have the groundcrew stood round in a circle, scratching their heads and muttering "What the bloody 'ell is wrong wiv it *now* ?"

Granted that's the usual state of affairs, but most of my planes are to be found suspended from the ceiling of our shop. I suppose that it's impossible to tell whether there's a pilot at a distance of several feet through pseudo-perspex, but I would still know that there's no-one flying the bird...

The following may help. I know that they are German, but hopefully they can be painted to represent the correct uniform.

Thanks - I'll check those out. Since they're in England and I'm here in the States, it might just make more sense to buy a $2.99 Sopwith Camel or something and just take its pilot...

I have plenty of spare pilots. I'm in Australia but I post them if you want.

I too like to put pilots in models, like this one:

I bought only one set of resin pilot figures so far, because they were so nice. They are PJ Productions figures:

Good luck!

My models:

Have you tried Hobby-Lobby.com? They have a goodly amount of pilots for planes - I just got done working on one for my husband's Alfa Fockewulf. It had to be sanded a bit, but it looks fairly good.

Let me see if I can find you a direct link
