I got my pilots from Tailored Pilots in the UK. I also had to make mods to the cockpits, partly by removing the top of the seat surface and sitting the pilots rear-ends right on the cockpit floor. I also had to mod the pilots .. I removed the legs, stuffed the flight suit legs with cotton batting, and trimmed the bottom of the torso a bit .. they were sitting too high even with the seat top removed. I think they look reasonable now looking from outside. Looking inside, they are still sitting too far forward so the hands are not where they really should be on the throttle quadrants. I let that go for now...
Of course with the pilots it really looks quite a bit cooler :-)
