This is the only 1/24 seated USN pilot I am aware of: https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-print-models/miniatures/figurines/us-navy-pilot

Allow me to sing the praises of your 1/24 USN WWII pilot figure, it's absolutely incredible. Just the thing for anyone building the new Airfix Hellcat.

Merit produced several 1/24 WWI kits a few years back. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/merit-international-62403-fokker-dri--966630 https://www.scalemates.com/kits/merit-international-62401-spad-sxiii--1005613 https://www.scalemates.com/kits/merit-international-62402-raf-se5a--969374

So, this arrived yesterday...

Popular subject, tremendous variety of colorful schemes to choose from, and virtually no rigging? Count me in.

As am I, but I must admit they look great in the photos.

Well, nuts.

I remember a build thread a while back for their La-7. It definitely wasn't a Tamiya "shake the box" project, but it didn't seem any more arduous than the average resin kit.

I'm living in a world in which there will be two large scale IM Helldivers before there is a Val and/or Kate? WTH? Otoh, I'm all in on the A-20.

Yes, please. Until that day comes the old Bandai kits are the only game in town. Good news: both kits are generally accurate in outline and feature nicely done surface detail. Bad news: like most large kits of similar vintage, both are lacking in interior detail (the Shiden-kai is the better kit in that regard).

...or maybe he followed the instructions?
