1:6 pilot figure

Post by Brian Taylor »

Hi,
Any recommendations for a 1:6 ready to go pilot figure ( bust or full body) suitable for a 1:6 T21?
Plenty in the larger scales but struggling to find a source for one that suits the open cockpit of that era.
Thanks,
Brian

Thanks for the pointers, appreciated. Unfortunately my ability to paint figures to anything approaching realistic is rather challenged to say the least ( they usually look as though they have suffered several serious landing mishaps!) so to stand a chance of doing the model justice I will need to look at the ready painted versions or get my hands on a preloved action man.
Thanks again,
Brian

Forget Action Man, the scale action figures by Dragon are far better. Similar design but if yiu look on ebay, you will find bodies, clothing and even better, a whole range of very realistic and pre-painted heads.
If you need to keep it lightweight, buy separate hands, shoes/boots and a head, make up a balsa body and buy civillian clothing or flying suits. Parachutes or equipment webbing can provide acceptable harnesses as well.
Prices can be cheap and I've never had problems ordering from China.
