Default Japanese pilot figures

I am looking for a Japanese pilot figure to go into the cockpit of TBM Zero. 92 inch wingspan. Can anyone tell me the name of, or website of any company that retails these?

Thank you in advance!

I believe Vaille Aviation has what your looking for. You gotta paint it yourself though

Not sure who sells them but shoot me a P.M. if your interested this. It's left over from a 88" span KI-100. The plane did not survive the dogfight, but the pilot lives on.

A search on ebay wouldn't be a bad idea I have found many 1/6 pilots on there, but at 92" your more like 1/5 still can't hurt to take a look

Here's a good source for 1/6 scale action figures:

http://www.monkeydepot.com/Boxed_Figures_s/73.htm

They have a few nice looking Japanese figures too.

1)my bluebox german pilot is the most disappointing part of my FW190 model , he does not look German and no head hear , just an officiers hat .
Plus Bluebox comes in around 8plus oz , you need to make them lighter

Platt may not have any left and they are heavy but detailed. I use Vailly Officer and Gentlemen or my favorite Aces of Iron busts which are detailed and light with painting required.

Years ago I ordered a couple of them, and immediately sent them back which Dave graciously refunded. Describing as 'heavy' is kind. They're molded from Bondo. Detailing was there; however, with numerous pits, voids and depressions.

Lighten up the Blue Box/21st Century products by stripping off the clothes and craving replacement arms, legs, torso, etc. from foam. Apply a coat of resin to harden the foam surface and redress. Reattach the plastic head and hands only.
