1/6th Scale Thunderbirds pilot needed.
 
Hi guys,

I need a pilot for my 1/6th Skymaster Thunderbirds F-16. At this stage I have not yet decided to use the full cockpit or to simply make up a shallow 'bust only' version. I really want to keep this model light, therefor a full body pilot may end up being cut down to a bust only. However if I can find a very light weight full body pilot, I will grab that.

Thanks for your help and suggestions.

Jan,

Jan,
Those things can be hard to find most of the time and then you'll see one pop up on eBay or something. I looked all over for a pilot for my BVM 1/6 Thunderbird F-16 and actually wound up with two, one being from this collector guy in England. It's one of the Dragon collector series and it's NIB. Don't know if you want to spend that much money along with the shipping from the USA to Australia.

Jack is right.. Here is what I did to my guy to get him down to a respectable flight weight. Some serious surgery to his torso, and replaced his arms and legs with "packing peanuts".

Wilson at Untitled Document has great pilots..
