Help Needed with WW1 Pilots

[chippy]

I am looking to find two 1/35th scale or 54mm WW1 pilots to start a salute to Alcock and Browns first Atlantic crossing in 1919 so outfits where very much as WW1 . I was going to copy the statue outfits .

But better pictures show Alcock and Brown looking this .

These look closer to WW1 German outfits .

How makes figures nearest to the last picture . Any suggestions .

Thanks Valiant for the link . There are some that are close but not quite right . If I can't find a closer match I might have to do some modifying .

Has Rob Lane not got anything you can use ..perhaps not the right scale though ?

Great project as well...hope you share the bench time

Hi Chippy, I don’t know if there is anything in the Steve Warrilow Fusilier range that might be of use but appreciate they might be difficult to get hold of these days.

How 'bout Martin Hille's Kellerkind-Miniaturen? He has a series of RFC figures in 54mm in his catalog:

https://www.kellerkind-miniaturen.com/1-32-54mm/ritter-der-luefte/rfc-rnas-raf/

Maybe something there would work?

Prost!

I had thought of Rob , there is one that might with some reworking suit me . the scale is what I'm after . As far as sharing on the workbench, well we will have to wait on that Nap my figure painting has gone down hill in the last few years . New Glasses last week so maybe there might be some improvement

Hi Chippy,
Here are a few links worth a look, depends on the pose you are looking for. You could also try looking at the plastic figure ranges such as ICM etc to see if they are suitable.
cheers
