WWI pilots in 1/72?

[Traveller1865]

Was a bit surprised to see that a lot of Airfix and Revell WWI aircraft kits didn't come with pilots! So my questions are:
does the orion WWI set seated pilots work with airfix kits? They don't look too good though..Are there other WWI pilots in plastic or resin that fit the airfix sets? I found some on ebay that looked good but was pricey..

yes the DDS set is what I was thinking of. Great to hear they fit. Bought these on ebay but assembly required.. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PJ-Productio ... SwqNxck51-

Looks better than the DDS set but all that assembly in 1/72

Would be nice if SPEIRA do some WW I pilots sitting (with glasses and with glasses not in use) or a pilot who step in the plane.


(A pic is far better as my English description. I am sorry.)

Been considering it, just got to have the right measurements...

Black Army Models do a pilot with "gaps" where the glass should be. To fill it with clear resin or clear coat I think.

For some reason i cannot see your pictures Wiking. BB

?, Hm ...
I don`t know why.
I do all to import the pic as usual. I can see my pic.

The pic shows WWI pilots with googles
in use,
over the eyes
and in use but there are holes to fill with clear resin.

[Beano Boy]

i can see them now. Must have been a glitch. Very cool painting. They remind me of Biggles. BB

The Black Army modells figure is not for WW1, it is from the 1930s period

The chap in the left hand corner, looking a bit like Kenneth Moore would make a superb Eighth Army tanker.

He does look like Keneth Moore, well spotted.

The colours are all wrong for a RN Leiutenant in the Med though.

[gabor_kovacs]

Well he is painted as a civil pilot in the 1930's in Hungary.
