Title: Looking for 28mm Seated Pilots in Flight Seats
Post by: Maj Guiscard on January 18, 2014, 10:55:22 PM

...for a project.

I found the TAG helicopter pilots and door gunners, put them down as a "barely, maybe I could work with them".
but the best would be full facemask and instrument panel.

For this project I am trying to model a spaceship bridge scene. Spaceships in this setting have a bridge that most resembles the flight deck of the big birds like a C-130, C-5, or a B-52 with between 4 and 6 fully suited crewman in acceleration seats.

My search fu has failed. Ca anyone help?

Thanks for your time,
Will

Will, try Hannants in the UK (co.uk/com ?) a model shop specialising in all things aeronautical, you'll probably get 1/48 (closest your going to get for 28mm) Ejector Seats and Modern Pilots from them.

Hasegawa or maybe it's Fujimi make 1/48 jet pilots as well as carrier deck crew. Another source, in this case pre-paints, is Hobbymaster.
