Hi Robert.
when I built my 1/24th Huey as an air ambulance I had to create the flight crew from a collectioon of figure parts fron Hasagwa and Fujimi car drivers and mechanics. and a few other odds and sods. The following are a few pixtures I took during the build process.

I hope that these are of some help to you. I'm not normaly a fly guy but since this one was in my scale I had to build it.
In the past there were several driver/mechanic kits available in 1/24-1/25th scale. I usually throw all the parts in a box then mix, match and cut as I need to to get the pose I'm after.
Thanks
Carl
