Ola guys and gals

I found another issue to annoy you with. The other day I was thinking it would be nice to have some pilots standing in, around and next to the aircraft I purchased. And I started to do some googling. And either my search queries were not very good or there is simply not that much on the market. I only found 2 seated figures from a company in Belgium called PJ models and that's about it.
Is there more? Or will I end up converting ww2 figures?.

Would love to hear about it.

With friendly greetz

Greetings Faust;

Here are some figures available in 1:72 & 1:48 from Preiser that may be from the next war but can be modified very easily.

There also used to be a series from New Hope Design in white metal in 1:72.

I found this set which may be a bit overkill.

@ Stephen
Thanks for your reply I will look up those preiser figures. And see what is needed to get them to WW1 era pilots. And I will see what about the New Hope figures. Thanks for the tip.

@ Jessica
Actually that set would already help me a long way. Especially for that price. I'm going to see where I can get it here in Europe.

I also found a set of 3 from CMK which are titled Flying Circus.
