Dave , If your after 1/6 scale its no contest- http://www.blueboxtoys.com/bbi/f_bbi.html
Elite Force aviator 1/6 scale series covers jets and WW2.
For other sizes/scales its pretty bleak. Mostly just your average paintable bust style pilot.

Surely you are not dissing the mighty George Dubya.
Bring back Clinton, at least he knew how to have a good time in the white house.

1/4 scale pilot
Ray- I don't think there is any 1/4 jet jocks manufactured at present, I guess the demand would be pretty low?
I think there are a few custom pilot makers eg 'Pilots by Dianne' that could customize a regular 1/4 scale sport pilot. I am not sure about this though just speculating. Sorry I cant offer a url, but an 'Advanced Search' here on RCU for 'Pilots by Dianne' is a good start...
I just have got to ask Ray, what is the jet model you have in mind for such a big guy...any pics?

'Petes Pilots' in the UK is the leading supplier of specalised Pilots.
From 1/12 scale to 1/2 scale all types are catered for. Including 1/4 scale Jet Pilots.
I use only Petes pilots for my models (including the 1/4 scale Gloster E28/39 'Whittle' in the JWM '01.)
He does not have a website but his phone number is:
+44 (0) 1785256894.
If anyone needs any help getting in contact then just let me know!

Don't think Pete's advert does his work justice. The pilots in the advert in 'Model World' look a bit ropey. However I have only ever heard good things, and when I spoke to him on the phone he was an absolute gent. He couldn't have been more helpful.

1/4
Hey Ray, I have a 1/4 scale bust pilot, he's a sport jet pilot without a face mask but I'm sure we could fix him up with a little makeup . been trying to get the pics together for the website, but i just cant seem to steel the time from any of the other projects. I can put up a PIC of him tonight when i get home if your interested.

more pilots
Ray- Try this one as well! Composite Scale Models, they are an Australian company and suggest that they do 1/4 scale custom full body jet pilots. The AUS vs US exchange rate will be good for you as well. Go to pilots page on- http://www.compositescalemodels.com.au
For you UK guys! can you help me with this pilot? and his origin, I know he is about 1/5 scale and comes from England but who made him and where??? He came with a model I bought second hand in about 98' I would like to get another little guy the same, as he is my favorite....any help appreciated

Good Show...
... not my thread but very good show by everyone, I personally say thanks.
Ronnie, please do send some picures of the one that you have, still have a second 1/4 scale jet that you are aware of that needs a pair of pilots too.
Marty, those pilots from Composite Scale Models dont look too bad. I will be sending them an email to see what they can produce in the way of a US Air Force Jet Pilot.
Steve, if you happen to have any electronic pics of Pete's pilots, I would love to see them, email to [email protected]. Thanks for his number, I will give a call after the holidays are up.
Gents thanks again those here and those that email.

1/4 1/5
Hi Ray, I cant find the PIC of the 1/4 scale pilot, i will try to remember to bring the camera home from the office and take another one, or the PIC maybe on one of the computers there.
Heres a PIC of the 1/5 scale pilot for that project that needs 2 in it. They fit the seats perfectly.
