Maybe you could just use the woman figure's head and put it on any other WW1 pilot's body.

Flying fashion in that era was much given to jodpuhrs and boots, so if you could find a male seated pilot so attired, you probably could not be faulted for severing said figure at the wasit and grafting a suitable female figure at the join.

Thanks for that input. Yes, I have seen the Creative Models pilot and will probably use her as I did not find anything else. Hope I can figure out a way to trim her and get her into the Roland cockpit.

Cheers, Jake

Hey, Pathvet9, I see that Creative Models Australia has some female WWI pilots. One is kind of in a leaning pose. I don't know if they'll do you any good. But here's the link. Scroll down a little ways. If they work but are standing, you can always cut them at the waist and knees, do a little carving for fit, fill with putty, and make a seated figure. Barrett

I know of no one who makes any seated female pilot figures, in any scale, and for any time period let alone in the garb of a WW I pilot.  That's not to say there isn't one out there, but I haven't seen one, ever.

However, there is a series of figures made in a what-if scenario, if WW I hadn't ended when it did.  That's Luftkrieg 1919, https://www.luftkrieg1919.com/  They produce in 1/32, as well as 1/16.  Their series includes a number of women, though, they're all in standing poses, as far as I know, and they have a good deal of a steampunk look to them.  But you might be able to modify one.

For that matter, you could probably find some other 1/32 female and modify the figure to fit in the cockpit.

If anyone else knows of a 1/32 seated female pilot in WW I gear, though, I'll be interested to see it.

The wife has "commissioned" a Roland so i can learn rigging but now sher wants a pilot in the cockpit,  probably with a streaming scarf.....Sad

Anyway, a friend found one 1:32 figure on a site but I would have to cut her up. 

Any direction to a woman pilot would be appreciated.

Cheers, Jake
