Ray, I havent seen mention of the Tuskegee airmen figures. What are these oing in? I believe I have the B25 pilot figure if needed


For the first time in my RC career, I am doing a D Mustang, 100", I have always shyed away cause they were always every where I went. Love the "B", done about 4 of those.
I have a 100" Airacobra and a 1/5th scale Bearcat that I would like to drop Tuskeegee drivers into. I have plenty of the 1/6th pilots, they look just too out of scale for my personal tastes for these aircraft.
Thanks on the offer,I have the B25 figure as well, he drives my Lightening.

Why you gotta tease with the Mig 3? I love that plane. Great options, the sculpting and flesh toning is option b!
Feels good to be back building again. Looking forward to my first flight in about 5 years actually.

I think Aces of Iron are the great, but you have to build a body. Best Pilots are less work and look great.

Status: online 		Thanks for the kind words fellas. I just completed this pilot figure for the Pacific theatre.  He is full-bodied, weighs only 4.5 oz. and is 1/5 scale. He features accurate gear and clothing (down to the laces on his officer shoes), a positionable head, and he resembles a certain rough-necked Marine pilot. Perfect for 1/5 scale P-40s and Corsairs.

Status: online 		 Marvin, Glad Bob found such a nice "home"! I am honored to have one of my pilots in your aircraft. Great job painting him! No flying for the movies lately, but it was almost as much fun as Owatonna.

Ram3500, Glad you asked! Source is BestPilots.typepad.com.

He's already been alot of miles, and hasn't let the ground yet! lol. Love to see yer B25 sometime when down that way Lyle. Just finished up one myself that I copied some features of yours.

BTW, my compliments to your sister. She is a real artist.
