Does anyone make a 1/48 WWll RAF pilot, in either resin or metal, in running or 'scramble' pose? I thought Dartmoor did but I can't find it. Verlinden doesn't either.

Hannants has this one (unfortunately no photo Oh, wait, here he is) and this one available. There's also this one which could work. All of these are listed as "limited availability", but they're in stock.

ICM and Eduard do sets in plastic. The Eduard set has three running pilots while the ICM set has one getting into his aeroplane.

Thanks Jessie. Looks like Eduard has the best choice. I'm surprised there's not a larger selection of this type of figure as, for me, it would seem to be a popular or even classic RAF pose. (But then, that's just me ) Dartmoor should make this figure - their figures are pretty good!!

I would have thought that these guys were more typical. They spent a heck of a lot more time sitting waiting for the bell to ring than running
(These are 1/32 though. Pity)

Dartmoor make a couple of figs in armchairs, as well as a few other figs standing around talking, etc. in 1/48, which can be arranged in a casual diorama. Andrea makes similar, but Luftwaffe pilots. Hecker Goros also make excellent figs, but nothing in what I specifically want. All above figs avaialable from Red Lancers. (No affiliation,just a good store, good owner, and good service!).
