Ponty Bri Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 It.s coming to the point with my DF when thoughts turn to a pilot . There seems a lot available but the ones I have seen have their goggles on their forehead and for the life of me I can't see the logic in this. Can anyone advise as to a source of vintage pilots suitable for the Dawn Flyer. Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I got this chap Bri,... Who paints up like this,... No brilliant - I have more enthusiasm than skill where painting pilots is concerned! But he'll fit the bill I think! He's a J.Perkins item you should be able to order him from any good model shop online or get him from your LMS. BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monz Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Dave Banks does fantastic pilot in all sizes. He'll paint it for you too **LINK** This fella has his goggles up, but he does loads of others with goggles down too. Drop him an email.

PIlot Error 2 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Afternoon, Just saw this post. There are a few 3d printer companies on-line who will produce a pilot to your own specification from very light material although they may be a bit more expensive as they are producing a one-off special. all the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponty Bri Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 Thank you chaps for your suggestions will pursue same. Covering is getting close, must start thinking about markings on wings, what good fun this model is. Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomtom39 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Can anyone help? I'm looking for a "bust" of a WW2 RAF pilot in 1/5 scale. Any ideas of where I can find one? (tried Ebay with little success) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo565 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 This my pilot Flt. Lt. Al Zheimers in my latest vintage job which has been named Dementia. He came from Pete's pilots on ebay and he cost a staggering £8-50. Ordered on a Tuesday and he was here on Wednesday, super service. Tim@modelmarkings is the man to do your decals, great job he does.

Tomtom39 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Hello Jim, many thanks - sorry put this on the wrong thread. Petes Pilots do a 1/5 scale USA pilot but not an RAF one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vecchio Austriaco Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Her you can see my fearless guy - was really cheap even he came from the US... The picture is not up to date - now the guy has the obligatory scarf. Real silk (didn't find anything else...) VA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
