Default Great Planes P-6E Hawk pilots.

I'm looking for a good looking pilot for my P-6E. I think the Williams Brothers 1/4 scale pilot looks better but is not tall enough. I want one that is not so "ARFy" or is obviously from an ARF.
See pics.

I like the Aces of Iron or Best Pilots. Not sure the size needed though.

As you see in the pictures, the stock pilot looks OK in size, I'm not trying to be mean to anybody or mean to offend anybody by this, but it just looks to "autistic" to be a pilot in one of my planes. That pilot is one of the most common pilots anyway if tou think about it, I just want it to look a little more scale.

It's your plane,you don't need to defend your reasoning, if you want a different pilot, that is reason enough. 

I'd measure his height and width and look for another pilot roughly that size. Head diameter also might point you in the right direction.

This one looks better, and is the same size.

If you take a pilot made of hardish plastic you can scrape and reshape the face some with exacto knifes, files sandpaper. then they lose that baby face look. You have to repaint of course.
