Seated “pilot” in a suit...

[cmatthewbacon]

I’m thinking of doing my Dora Wings 1/48 Caudron Simoun as a “box art” style in flight diorama. I want to do Antoine de Saint Exupery’s “Wind Sand and Stars” flight... the markings are in the box. Which means I need figures for Antoine and his companion on the flight.    From what I can see, both flew in civvies, not specific flying gear. So I need to find two seated 1930s male figures in suit or jacket and tie. I know seated O Gauge passengers would be around 1/43, but I suspect I need smaller ones... I’ve used S&D white metal figures before to go with 1/48, but they are reasonably robust and probably wouldn’t fit _inside_ a model aircraft.

 

So if anyone has any ideas where I might find a 1/50ish sitting chap in a suit and another in a leather car coat, it’s be much appreciated!

best,

M.
