Skyraider

Hi All,

I was pointed at this form by the chaps from www.semodels.com I am currently building a 1/10th scale radio controlled Douglas A-1 Skyraider see http://s2.excoboard.com/exco/thread.php?forumid=84754&threadid=604661 The problem I have is that I can not get a 1/10 scale pilot most the pilots sold in R/C model shops are only head and shoulders and the full body are 1/8th to ¼ size I need a 1/10th fighter pilot full body to fit in the cockpit, dose any one know of such a item in the world plastic scale modelling.

Regards

Stuart.

Stuart,

I'm afraid I can't help but I have to say that is a seriously superb model. Thanks for the link, very interesting.

I hope you find a figure, I suspect Wonwinglo may well have some suggestions when he reads your post.

Hi The chaps I spoke to did say if you lot did not know where to get one then there is not such a thing.
thanks
Stuart.

It's nice to hear we are so well spoken of!!!!

The only place for pilots is-'Petes pilots',he is a member here but a very busy chap producing different pilot figures for all over the world,just key Petes pilots into your browser and you will find him,nothing to touch them.

Note the extensive use of Lego Bricks in the build process on that lovely Skyraider,also lots of those old scales weights,I love seeing other peoples work benches,I steal ideas !

Hello Skyraider,

A.H Designs do (or used to) a 1/10th Fighter Pilot which Goes down to his knees and will include both hands, one on a control stick. These are very light as they are latex rubber stuffed with Cotton wool and use a balsa base. One of these will be perfect for your model as you won't see much further down than that....They come plain or ready painted...I have had 2 of these for my Apache.

Very Nice Model by the way, A real work of art....Should look impressive in the air.
