Default Need 1/5 scale Japanese WW2 pilot bust or figure

Anyone out there knowwhere I can get a 1/5 scale WW2 Japanese pilot bust. Since my aircraft has only a partial cockpit a bust will work fine. Though if I had to get a full figure and cut him I could do that.

Aces of Iron has a 1/4 scale bust for a Japanese aviator. Wish they had it in 1/5 scale. As I have another of there pilots and he turned out fantastic.

Thanks for your help.

There is one on ebay. I'd expect for it to go from between $75.00-$125.00

Roy Vaillancourt does list a 1/5 Japanese pilot figure. No 1/6 that I could see at a glance.

www.hppilots.com has the 1/5 full scale painted figure. Aces of Iron might have one and you can check out cajun rc for pilots.

Hi there,

I have 4 bbi zero pilots in stock, but mine are specially converted to lightweight, and have an option for an r/c head. See my web site www.scaleaircrewsupplies.co.uk to see the videos (remember to turn up the volume).

I have attached the zero pilot data sheets for you.

They are a bit pricey for the US guys at the moment, but they are totally unique!

hope this helps,

cheers

In most cases when one need a scale 1/5, a scale 1/6 will fit. That is the same as a 12" action figure.

If you google

Japanese Pilot "Lieutenant Sakae"

Then you will find many, but all are out of stock.....

I found only one....

Having just spent an exhaustive search for a 1/5 scale Russian pilot, I can say the difference between a 1/6 and 1/5 scale pilot is noticeable. Best pilots has a fabulous Saburo Sakai pilot in 1/5 scale. That I where I would go
