ExchefAndy Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 After so many years I've returned to a childhood fascination... Jets. I'm currently working on the Tamiya 1/48 Tomcat A, because what else would you do after all this time?😁 I've already started planning ahead, as you do, and I'd love to build an F-15... any year, Due to space constraints, I'm a wheels up sort of person... are there any pilots in this scale? Thanks for any help! Regards Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jenshb Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 PJ Productions do nice resin figures in 1:48. The Monogram and Hasegawa F-15 come with pilot figures, but the Revell F-15E and GWH F-15 kits do not. Beware of the GWH Eagles - their cockpits are deeper than other kits and the ejection seats similarly large. Aftermarket figures and kit figures will look like little children in the GWH seat.

ikar Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I never use pilots in my airceaft so I have them sitting in a parts drawer. They are probably looking t escape by now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ExchefAndy Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 Firstly, thank you Jens for the info! I was looking at the GWH Mudhen, but you saved me from making a purchase that would have become an issue for me. I'll keep the research going before I pull the trigger. And secondly, thank you ikar... thats a really cool offer. I might just take you up on that suggestion. I'll PM you in regards to setting your pilots free!😄 Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

okthree Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 The Tamiya F-16 comes with a pilot that would work for a F-15, you would need to adjust his right arm to hold the stick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
