Hi,

Been trying to find some pilots that will look right in this plane, around 1/12 scale.
Any suggestions?

Thanks!

JFranco,
That is going to be a hard plane to put pilots in. The fuselage is not to scale, and as so is very narrow. I tried to put some Williams Bros 1/10th scale pilots in mine, but thet were way to wide.
Good luck,
Ron

Believe it or not, I've had decent luck at Wally World and the Dollar stores in the toy dept. If I just want a pilot figure, Buzz Lightyear fits most of my planes in the "Not Scale" category. I've found military figures that have movable arms & legs that worked just right for a 1/12th scale Corsair and other warbirds. Just for the heck of it I measured the pilot and did the scale thing, he would've been 6' tall. Although he was a Tank Commander as are most of them, a little scraping and paint and he was just right with leather helmet and all. I was able to move his arms and hands to the correct position for the "Joy Stick" and the "Throttle".

Just an idea,
Slowjohn

Try "Pilots are Us", better known as "Toys are Us". They have lots of small figures that can work well.
