Default Pilots for HOB kits

I have the HOB Spacewalker and AT-6 planes. I love these kits, but I'm stymied as to pilots that can be close to scale in size. Anybody have any sources, suppliers or ideas at all? I'm not an artist, so I don't think I can create them from scratch free hand. Any help appreciated.

See if you can find some old Williams Brother pilots. They had some small ones that fit fine. Good Luck, Dave

As David said, Williams made some 1/12 scale pilots; you may be able to find them still. Also check out this Canadian outfit: [link=http://www.justpilots.ca/catalog/wrapper.php?file=pilot_figures.htm]Just Pilots[/link]

Williams Bros, yes. That is what I put in mine 30 years ago. I just pulled it out of the shed.

Definitely needs a little TLC. I knew Williams Bros. was defunct , but was wondering what you guys were doing to fill the void. There are to many talented and knowledgeable fliers out there to just stop putting pilots into these aircraft. Thanks for the advice.
