You would think the guys at ARC could answer this question, but I posted over there and no luck.

I'm building a 1/48th scale JU-88C and was looking for a Luftwaffe pilot and flight crew. I am building it in-flight, so the figures should be seated.

I browsed Squadron.com and wasn't sure what was my best option and the most accurate.

Hi Brian

I don't know about aftermarket stuff, but you could maybe poach a pilot out of Revell's He 111...

Hope this helps

I know Verlinden does some good seated Lufty pilots , but you might have to convert them slightly ,as they tend to be for the FW 190's etc.. and wear fighter gear
,could be a good starting point though ?
good luck mate ! K

thanks guys. it's amazing, i've posted on ARC, FSM, and here... nobody has a good answer. I'm surprised this isn't a common item.

Hey Brian-
Yeah... I saw your post over at FSM too. But like everyone else I'm at a loss. I've done some searching but came up with nada

I'll keep an eye out though... I could swear that Tamyia has some flight crew figures availiable, but like I said I haven't found them yet... oh well.

Well, I decided to try one more search but not much luck...
All the Luftwaffe bomber crews I found are either standing, playing chess, or drunk (maybe that's why they lost the B.O.B.? hahaha :-) )

Maybe this would work though... with some careful softening/remolding they may work.

I found them from this search...

Good luck bud-
