Default Scale Pilot Dilemma

Hi, everybody.

I don't normally post in the scale forum, as I don't fly anything worthy of being called a "scale model" typically, just lots of planes which pretend to be scale, like a GWS Spitfire parkflyer or a Herr Starcruiser mocke up as a Cessna 182. However, I just finished assembling a pacific Tiger Moth(the 1/7th scale .30 size). Scale reproduction or no, it's recognizable as a Tiger Moth and will look awful silly with two gaping empty cockpits. Thus far, I have not been able to locate a suitable pilot. I am at a loss for solutions, and am on the verge of slapping a giant Ratfink head antenna topper in the cockpit as a placeholder. If anyone has any suggestions for a reasonably scale pilot figure or bust this size, would be appreciative. I've scoured the local toystores to no avail, and I don't really have the patience to carve my own.
