1/12 Scale seated modern pilots?

[Derek B]

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

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-

Thanks Ziggyfoos - a rare beast indeed (I cannot even find an image of the figure parts to assess).

 

Hi Pete,

 

I am in total agreement with you. If I can find something 9anything!), then I would like to do something like this:

I don't recall seeing the parts either, but here's one completed here at LSP if you've not already seen:

Thanks again Ziggy. 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?

 

Many thanks

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.

Derek...

on second  thought maybe not in your scale. 

sorry

 

 

 

Thanks Maru...that would be perfect in 1/12 scale!
