Derek B Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) Hello All, Does anyone know of the availability of modern seated pilots in 1/12 scale please? (I have an ESCI 1/12 scale F-16A cockpit that I would like to install figure into). Many thanks Derek Edited September 29, 2020 by Derek B MARU5137 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Fleischmann Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I have been hoping that Norbert At Reedoak would scale up one of his seated pilots to 1/18th to use in the big Hobby Boss Harrier- perhaps if a few of us ask him he might consider it- cheers Pete Derek B, RNoAF and MARU5137 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Pete, I am in total agreement with you. If I can find something 9anything!), then I would like to do something like this: Derek Edited September 29, 2020 by Derek B MARU5137 and Troy Molitor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall seeing the parts either, but here's one completed here at LSP if you've not already seen: https://www.largescaleplanes.com/articles/article.php?aid=217 Derek B and MARU5137 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite sure what to make of it now that I have seen it! (certainly, it would make a very good starting point for me). I suppose that I could attempt to make a figure from scratch, but I have never tried that before, so am worried about my 'sculpting' skills. Nor do I have the equipment or expertise/knowledge to 3D print my own figure (unlike Norbert of Reedoak), so I guess that the search continues?

Bob MDC Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 If you check the RC sites a sculptor I worked with at "The Evil Empire" started doing bespoke RC pilots 3D printed, I think I still have his number, but there is a few firms supplying pilots for RC aircraft.

MARU5137 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 (edited) Derek... see if this helps. I think he gas a few more in colorised version . pilot and crews figures by Reedoak - Page 52 - Vendors Board - Large Scale Planes https://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?/topic/55688-pilot-and-crews-figures-by-reedoak/page/51/ on second thought maybe not in your scale. sorry Edited January 1, 2021 by MARU5137 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
