Bates Hellcat Pilot and Radial Engine
 

I'm getting frustrated trying to find a 1/6 scale Navy pilot figure, and plastic dummy radial engine for the Bates Hellcat I am building. I like the Elite Force Navy guy, but I can't find one. I don't need the weight of a Tainno radial up front, and don't want to spend over $100 for the Williams Bros one. The diameter of the radial should be about 6 to 7 inches. Where should I look for these two items?
Thanks.
Andris.

Vailly Aviation, [link=http://www.vaillyaviation.com]Vailly Aviation[/link] has a 1/6 scale US navy pilot for $25.00,
and Tower Hobbies carries the Top Flight 1/7 scale radial engine for their corsair for $10.00. Says it fits 6.5 to 7 inch cowls.
