Hi,
Does anyone know of any manufacturer/distributor/hobbyshop (preferably in Canada) that makes/sells 1/48 scale seated pilot figures that don't cost a fortune?
I'm building a 1/48 Stuka and I would like to put two figures in it. I'm not a master builder so they don't have to be highly detailed or even German, I really wouldn't notice.
Thanks,
Darren S.

I would look on Ebay, there's usually quite a selection there. Sometimes with very reasonable prices, and/or free shipping.

I agree. There are some German ones there now.

Darren, for the Stuka there is an appropriate crew set from Hecker + Goros. These figures are made out of lead but in very high Quality. The manufacturerer isnīt anymore but Iīve seen an italian shop offering this specific set at eBay.de at the moment. I do have this set and I can recommend you this one as the pilot and rear gunner/wireless operator really upgrade the impression. Maybe you can also find a vacuformed canopy for them to show them with opened canopy
