28ZComeback Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) Does anyone make an early-war WW2 Swedish pilot in 1/48 scale, either standing or seated? Thank you. Edited March 28, 2021 by 28ZComeback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seawinder Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 For me this begs the question: how did Swedish pilots look different from other pilots, and what would it take to modify a generic pilot figure? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Dapple Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 There are a couple of pictures of Swedish Gladiator pilots in this thread: https://ww2aircraft.net/forum/threads/swedish-gloster-gladiator.38655/ The pictures aren't that big so it's hard to make out much details, but it looks like an early-war Luftwaffe pilot would be an easy enough conversion Cheers, Stew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plastimic Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 They wore very well designed black overalls. I believe the collars were wool or fur. I think thier helmets were brown. I would love some early war sweedish pilots in 1/72. If someone sent me info, I'd be down to do some drawings if someone had some good Autocad skills and a 3d printer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
