Pilot Figures 144th Scale

[Folkbox1]

I'm after some 144th pilot figures for placing in cockpits so I can have them flying (seems a bit silly to have the planes "flying" without pilots.  I've not found much on the web - closest seemed to be 3d printed but they wanted silly money for postage and packing.  Not bothered what nationality they claim to be as I don't think there'll be any noticeable difference when placed in enclosed cockpits.

 

All suggestions gratefully received 🙂

Ozmods does some [marked as Russian, but as you said, at that scale, who could tell?]:

How about searching under "N Gauge seated figures" I doubt if you will find anything wearing a helmet or bonedome but you never know. The pre-painted ones are dear and best avoided but I image something should suit from our railway layout brethren. A daub of paint should do to 'de-civilianise' them.

Aeroclub released 1/144 whitemetal cold-war pilots with IIRC Mk4 MB ejection seats many moons ago. They occasionally pop up on ebay,

Fox one has a set of modern seated jet pilots in 1/144.

Another vote for the N-gauge seated passengers here. I've used them a couple of times. The detail is so small that once they've had some paint they will be fine.

Thanks chaps,

 

I'll certainly look in to your suggestions - escpecially the N scale figures as I have a major model railway shop only 10 minute walk away:-)

Check out these seated and standing pilots, and ground crew, at Heroes Models.  The Tornado fuselage with detailed cockpit and opened avionics bays is also worth a look.  Heroes Models is based in Italy.
