Hi everyone. Brand new to the forum.
Anyone have a suggestion on where to find a 1/72 scale seated pilot figure for a Messerschmitt BF109G14 (Academy kit)?
Thanks very much
Mr. Underhill
Yeah, in the Aircraft forum
Just busting your chops! Welcome to the forum!
CMK makes resin figures, including seated pilots. Here is the URL to the first page of their figure catalog:

I filtered for 1/72 German WWII by any maker.
You might also try the secondary market. One of the eBay sellers I follow sells the figures from old kits, though his prices are a little high. But nevertheless, I'd search eBay.
And of course, there may be members here who have one and would just give it to you, too, Mister....Baggins
(I just happen to be re-reading TLOTR right now, the Company has just reached Lorien).
Again, welcome to the forum, and best regards!

Bish ...The CMK sets are nice but there are no seated figures.

I was just about to disagree with you, Bish, when I took a closer look. Though, I agree, they don't have any figures specifically of a pilot sitting in the cockpit. However, they do have a couple of figures in flight gear, sitting outside, as on the ground, which could be adapted. Here's the "German Bomber Pilots" set, with 2 seated figures:

There are a couple other sets in their catalog, with seated pilots, but they're posed to sit in chairs. Though, they, too, could be modified.
I agree about the Preiser sets, particularly.
Best regards,
Ye, that's what I meant, seated in an aircraft. I have every German pilot/groundcrew set on the market in 72nd scale, as a dio builder they are rather essential. Though I have not seen it confirmed, I suspect the Revell set is a re box of the Preiser as they look identical, though the Revell look nicer. Those CMK figures, as you mention, are bomber crew, and would take a little converting
When you mention figures in chairs, do you mean from Preiser. They are rather nice, i used one of those a while back. I have not seen any CMK figures in chairs though.
Welcome to the Forums! Glad to have you aboard!

You guys rock. Thanks for the info. (and chop busting) And I can't believe I got the "Mr. Underhill" screen name. Ah, Lorien. Thanks, Baron. And thanks to all who responded.
