1:72 pilots
Posted by Allan Ingpen on Friday, July 6, 2012 8:54 AM
Hi, anyone have ideas on how to get a hold of 1:72 modern pilots? It really is character building (translate: annoying) to build aircraft with empty cockpits.
Is there a way to make pilots?

Any ideas would be great.

There are a few options in 1/72, from Italeri

and Hasegawa

 .

Most seem to be standing, I assume this is partly due to the lack of space and inconsistency of cockpits in this scale - "off a little bit" quickly means you can't fit a pilot on the inside anymore.

You can always start with the upper body of a standing pilot, and use chopped-up leg pieces and putty to fashion a seated pilot as well. Most of what will be seen is upper body anyway.
