Well depending on the scale, I went this route. Cant find a better "Real" Looking pilot than the good ol' Ken Doll. My daughter Donated it for the project.

This is a 40 Size plane, Youll have the whole body to work with as well then cut to fit the rest. Comes with actual clothes. I made the head gear.

If you want a pilot with the Head Gear / Helmet - Go here - http://www.advantagehobby.com/produc...cat=695&page=2

You can get them full body size, Pilot figures etc, But they Cost alot. an still dont have real hair.
See here..http://www.advantagehobby.com/produc...cat=695&page=1

These are just for reference, as I dont know what the flight gear looks like for those pilots.
no personal experience with that company either myself.

Not too bad of a price on the 1st one. But seeing how that is a beauty of a heli and you can see the majority of the cockpit. Go with more than just a Bust cut.

Forgive the image as I did not have a Digital camera at the time so I just took a photo of an old photo just now...I need a scanner.

Hope it helps Some, Jeff

Guys,
I just got the pilot from Century. Terrible casting and I am not positive it will even clean up enough to work for my Cobra. One thing in particular is the arms are already glued to the shoulders with the wrists at his side at about his waist. Not only that, their is a huge blob of epoxy in between his arm and torso... I would not recommend them esp. when you consider the price. However, on the bright side, the scale looks about right (1/7th)
