Chaps, don't be put off by the 3D print 'lugs' (or whatever they are called?)
I have bought lots of 3D jet pilot figures for my plastic model aircraft kits from 'Reedoak' in the past and with a pair of sharp and good quality sprue cutters, it takes only a moment to remove these and clean-up is really easy with some sanding and polishing sticks - it takes MUCH less time than cleaning up, say, the average 54 or 75mm (metal) figure.
Don't let the 'fussy' appearance of the process put you off as this figure for those interested in the genre looks superb.
