willsm Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Hey all, I'm just starting a new build of the above model. I was after so resin pilots, specifically ones that are authentic to the era in which this plane flew. I've already built the cockpit and do not want them sitting. Ideally, I'd like to get at tleast one climbing the cockpit ladder... I looked on Hannants but couldn't really see what I was after...Anyone know where I might be able to get these pilots?

Creepy Pete Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Reedoak has some nice figures, although not a ladder climbing one http://reedoak.com/#!/1-48/c/13281308/offset=70&sort=normal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex-FAAWAFU Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Reedoak figures are every bit as stunning in the flesh as they appear on a screen. The only problem is that there’s only yourself to blame for the painting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willsm Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share Posted February 11, 2020 After much searching I opted for some standing pilots, as seen here: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/cmk-f48084-us-navy-pilots-modern-2-fig--113783 Very detailed. Guess I'll have to build a diorama to stick the jet and figures on now :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiskey Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Could probably use the pilots from Tamiya's F-14A kit if your looking for seated ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willsm Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 To be honest, I have a bigger problem than the figure now. I bought a replacement resin cockpit from falcon and it just doesn't fit nice 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the rest of the model is great, I wrecked the original cockpit clear plastic and sourced a resin replacement, but it just doesn't fit as well as the original stuff from the sprues May have to buy a whole 1:48 f-14 kit just for the cockpit... I have found that when maskol is combined with layers of paint and varnish, it hardens over time and actually does not come off... Hence my destruction of it getting impatient and chucking Mr tool on it which is way too hot and just kinda melted it... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
