I'm looking for 1/72 scale figs for Modern AC's especially for the AV-8B, A-10, F-22, F/A-18E, F117. Does it have a good fit with the cockpit?

I wanna make an airfield dio of it! It wouldn't look good if an AC is flying without a pilot!

Hasegawa did produce a 1/72 scale set of modern USAF pilots and ground personnel with a crew van and ladders. The figures were actually nice. Don't know if it's still in production, but should be available.

HA35007 USA PILOTS W/CREW & CREW VAN they are a three pilots figure ( very nice ) a nice van and about 12 mechanic figures with ladder and other field eqipment .
Best on the market .

I saw a Hasegawa pilot/ground crew set in one of the local stores (JMN IIRC). I'm not really sure if it's 1/72 or 1/48 though.

:-) Are you looking for the figure pilots or a ground crew? Mostly Hasegawa aircraft models has its fig.pilots & it will fit to the cockpit.

Both. But my first priority is the pilot. The crew will be optional. BTW, do you know where we could buy those locally?
