Doccur Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 (edited) Hi all, Does anybody happen to know if anyone produces any decent figures for an RAF Pilot from the 70s, needed for a Harrier Gr.1 vignette. Cheers Ash Forgot to mention this will be for a pilot standing next to the aircraft Edited October 13, 2022 by Doccur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODeller Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Airwaves did a 1/48 standing Harrier pilot in cast metal. Probably difficult to find these days. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODeller Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Would the Aries Sea Harrier pilot figure ( 1/48 standing) fulfill your needs ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doccur Posted October 18, 2022 Author Share Posted October 18, 2022 Unfortunately the Aries figure has the exposure suit that the shar are pilots wore in the south Atlantic, so no good for me! thanks though Ash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Above certain temps just the LSJ was worn. It would not be out of place chap. The main Harrier giveaway back then was most likely the flapped boots. Multi use immersion suits for SAR winch crew etc were usually much thicker and nearer to a dry suit.

Al Gunthwaite Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Unfortunately, I've rooted at the back of the garage and found just one very poor casting in 1/48 scale. (but a few 1/72 scale Sea Harrier deck crew). Sorry Al 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
