discussion 1/48 RAF Pilots WW2

[The Smythe Meister]

Hi chaps,
As the title suggests, I'm trying to find some RAF Pilots in 1/48 scale..not so much the ground crew or standing types,but proper seated ones
There seems a lot of WW2 German,US, Russian or even modern kits out there... But not much in the way of WW2 British stuff at all?!!
ANY suggestions that might suit my Hurricane,Defiant and future Blenheim etc greatly appreciated...
Cheers,
Andy

Hi Andy

How about the below. I've used they're 1/72 ones for my 109 and Mossie. German ones were better.

Can't comment on this one but you can get them in the UK.

ATB.

Not sure if anyone does the gunner from the Defiant Andy. I seem to remember he wore a special flying suit with built in parachute……
I never use pilots/crew figures, so I’ll see what I’ve got in the spares box. The Mosquito crew are certainly available, they could suit the Blenheim, and I think there was a pilot in my Spitfire kit that I never used. I’ll get back to you……

And there I was thinking you had forgotten us! :smiling5:

Would be interested in what you think. The PJ ones aren't that expensive but the RAF ones definitely weren't as good as the Luftwaffe ones

A bit late to the party, but I have used a couple of the PJ Productions 1/32 scale pilots, and if the 1/48 version is of similar quality it should be very nice.

Do you mean 1/35 ladies or the real thing?!!.....
.... I have some of the former available.... But,sadly,none of the latter..... Apart from some I see around these parts,who would probably complain if I bundled them off to you,....
...No disrespect like!!
