Default Yellow Aircraft Zero Pilot?

Anyone know of a good pilot for a Yellow Aircraft Zero? The only one that I found is from Vailly Aviation and it is a little too big.

Thanks,
Tony

Thanks for the link but I am only interested in "scale" type pilots.

HP Pilots made me two Jap pilots for my Kate torpedo bomber. They came painted with the Jap headbands, very scale. Both pilots are different to distinguish between pilot and rear co-pilot.

Dave Platt Models, Inc. has a 1/5 scale Japanese pilot. They require some work, but when you're finished, they look great. The good part is they already look Japanese ...you don't have to
try to modify an American pilot to look the part. 'buff

If you do a search on ebay they sell every single accessory you need from flight boots to uniform to period correct uniform patches parachutes head gear etc even custom head sculpt you could put one together for under 25 dollars build 80% of him in blue foam and wire dress him right and whola ! instant custom Japanese pilot

You just cant beat this; BBI Japanese pilot. Out of production and a bit of a collectors item. I managed to track mine down on Ebay. Even the sword is finely detailed and made of diecast metal. The YA Zero works out to be about 5.5 scale so this pilot is a little too small but it is very close. The attention to detail is incredible. Mine is going to go into a extensively reworked ESM Frank which works out at 6.0 to 6.2 scale.

I had the BBI Japanese 1/6 WWII pilot figure in my
Yellow zero and it looked great, fit nice also. They are VERY
hard if not impossible to find anymore. I got mine off Ebay.

Tony,

I have a few spare BBI Japanese Zero pilots. I bought ten of them about three years ago that had slightly damaged boxes. I kind of forgot I had them until I was cleaning out my shop the other day. I havn't been watching these items on Ebay so I really don't know what they would be worth. Send me a PM if you are interested in one and we'll figure out a price.

Regards,

James
