I am in the process of putting together a Sig 1/3 scale Spacewalker. I am leaning toward a full cockpit with all of the details. I am looking for a 1/3 scale pilot that would fit this plane. Does anyone know of a company who makes a pilot that would fit this requirement? I am looking for something with the leather like helmet and coat. Typical of the roaring 20's and 30's barn storming days. Thanks in advance.

Diane Chevalier, "Pilots by Diane"

She did my 1/3 scale full figure John Travolta used in my Ercoupe.

Google it and you'll get her web site

Thanks Guys, I couldn't locate a website for Diane, just her email address. The other site has lots of choices. Thanks guys. I need to shoot Diane an email to see if she has a website. If she does, I will post the URL here.

Hello DD,

I just got my pilot from Axel's Scale Pilots...here is his web address:

http://www.axels-scale-pilots.de/

He is based in Germany - takes about 6 weeks to get one - but you get to pick out everything...I've been building planes for over sixteen years and I have to say that this is the coolest thing I have ever gotten! Axel is a great guy to deal with as well!

Oops...the pilot in the picture is a 1/3 scale full body - he is going in my Balsa USA Stearman. Axel even gave him a Cubs baseball hat! He wasn't cheap though...after the exchange rate he ran me $300 - well worth it in my opinion.

Justin,

He sure is a nice looking pilot. How tall is he? Maybe I can find something that will be close in size that I can use at a toy shop and weather the faces a bit. Thanks for your reply.

Hey Buzz,

I communicated via email - they can communicate in english rather well. Their website lets you download an order form - I just emailed Axel what I wanted and he emailed me the price. I had to pay using Western Union...

Hi Justin,

I also order a full body pilot from Axel, and I paid via Western Union. My pilot was completed after 6 weeks. How long did it take for delivery? I've been waiting for over two weeks now.

Hey Dwayne,

It took about 2 -3 weeks for the pilot to arrive if memory serves...mine got caught in customs in Canada, sounds like yours did too. I'm thinking about ordering another one - the Stearman is screaming for a wing walker

Thanks Justin! I was getting a little concerned.
