Depends how muc h money you want to spend Ralph. AH Designs in Wales are cheap. Axels in Germany are expensive but exquisite.

You pays your money & makes your choice! :?:

AH takes forever though......Need it for the 10 sept at latest

hi ralph, have you thought of a.h. designs, pete's pilots, i think another one is alex pilots.

i picked up some kids' toys which were water squirter guns shaped like heads.
bodies, arms and legs from foam, pullovers from sleeves of my kids pullovers and jeans from old jeans et voilá, pilots to grace any cockpit.

Hi Ralph.
I got the pilot for my K8 from Premier Pilots, www.premierpilots.net/ . They are not cheap, but they are cheaper than axil pilots I think.

Oops sorry :oops: :oops: . Just relised your K3 is 1/3 scale and Premier Pilots only do 1/4 scale at the moment.

Hi Ralph,

Contact for Johannes in your inbox

As for pilots, I have ordered some in a few different places :

www.premierpilots.net/ (but only 1/4. Good quality stuff for a reasonnable price)
http://www.iflytailies.com/store/pilots/1-3-scale-pilots/ (never tried)
http://www.Perfect-Pilots.com
http://www.thepilotpeople.co.uk/

And lots more!
I bought also some that were in latex, to be painted from the US. Bought 2, in 1/4 and 1/3 scale, but they are no good for us unfortunately, unless you do a bit of cutting / grinding work as they are too much in a seated position if you se what I mean.
Can't remember the link, I'll try to find it.

Also, if you have a bit of time, very easy to do your own one!
You can buy head, hands / shoes and also full body pilots here : http://silencemodel.fr/category.php?id_category=75 (this is Pascal's shop)

Hope this helps,

Fred
