Bob Moore Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Hi All, I've been looking for a good Modern navy fighter pilot figure in 32nd scale, does anyone make one???? :blink: Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spooky 01 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Hi Bob, appearently a damn good question since nobody reacted sofar !!! Unfortunately I can't help You out either. My best offer is to try and obtain some Tamiya pilot-dudes. Academy also has some nice figure's in their F/A-18 Hornet... "Check Six....." Spooky. P.S.: C'mon Guy's, help him out !!!

loftycomfort Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Plenty of people have built their Academy Hornets without using the pilot figures. My suggestion is to post in the buy/sell/trade forum if you're interested in acquiring some. Cheers, Terry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spooky 01 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Good point, Terry ! (I kinda forgot to mention that out in my former reaction.) "Check Six....." Spooky. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks anyway. Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scot M Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 A UK based aftermarket company called 'Reheat' used to make some. I know they are OOP but if you don't mind digging a little on Ebay and elsewhere you might come up with something. HTH! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
seanlomas Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Hi Bob, I think Verlinden used to make a 1/32 US Navy figure. He was called 'Topgun' I believe and had a 'jester' moustache. I have the biger 120mm one without the moustache that I'll start painting tomorrow as a VF-114 Driver in an orange flightsuit. I've just looked mid-typing: http://www.modelcentrum.pl/go/_info/?id=88...9e1423139b92a25 he is 54mm which I think is 1/32? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Julien (UK) Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 PJ Productions do a seated USN figure. http://www.pjproduction.net/items.php?CA=5...0486.12.211.166 Julien Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spooky 01 Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Hi Bob, just came to mind: There is a post somewhere on ARC. Sorry but I don't exactly know where. I'm sure You'll be able to find it, however. (try the "tip's & trick's section" or something simular) Anyway, a fellow ARC-ers has posted an article on how to sculpture exsisting figure's step by step. I haven't tried it myself yet, but it sure looks like fun to fool around with a bit... (once You get the hang of it) I'll see if I can find the article. If so I'll let You know via this post. "Check Six....." Spooky. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spooky 01 Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Bob, found it !!!!! ARC => "Tools & Tip's" section => Figures Have Fun ! "Check Six....." Spooky. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BrockyTaz Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 (edited) but I was at a show a couple of years back and there were a couple of figures next to a Tomcat and they were gorgeous but I don't remember where the builder said they were from. :) Thanks anyway. Bob Hey Bob, Don't know if this is what you meant by "gorgeous" but they are listed as USN pilots. :) Edited June 3, 2007 by BrockyTaz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can't believe it, I was looking for something and I opened a 1/32nd A-4 I had for sometime and it had this very figure in the box, I don't even remember ever getting one, what else is hidden in those box's ???? :) Thanks to all that helped out, ARC, what a great place.
