Status: offline 		Hmmm, I thought they were more like 1/6 scale? They would need to be about 18 inches tall for 1/4 scale, unless your pilot is a very small guy.

They are about 12" tall x4 only equals a 4 foot tall midget, x6 and you have a man

I think "G.I.Joe","Dragon","Blue Box" action figures make excellent pilot figures. Especially if you are looking for pilots for Japanese or German birds!! For jets you can't beat "Blue Box" figures. For really good prices on these figures check the following sites:

I've got a ton more; if your'e interested e-mail me.
