Pilot Figures
Posted: 09 Oct 2025, 20:49
Does anyone know of any sources or 3d printing files of 1/6th scale 1930s pilots?
Thanks

I'm assuming you want the links as well..........?
I've used Warbird Pilots in the past https://www.warbirdpilots.com/default.asp. A little pricey for what they are but they look OK. My EC-130 have a couple of their Heli pilots in, including one with a moving head, and they look pretty good.
I imported from the US as I couldn't find decent stock over here. I suspect that you'd be looking at their WW1 range for the 30's era.
I know of people who have gone with Real Model Pilots https://www.realmodelpilots.co.uk/ - a firm based in the UK and they 3D print pilots. They also do a degree on customisation I believe, however they do have quite an extensive range, so I'm sure you should be able to find what you're after.
Personally, I wasn't over impressed when I've seen photos of these, but they now seem to be printing in SLA as well as FDM so the quality should be much better.
If you want a really nice pilot, I'd recommend Wilson at https://www.tailoredpilots.com/. He does 'Golden Era' Pilots which would suit your requirements. Not cheap but very good quality - all depends what you're after. Steve S has one of Wilson's pilots in his Kobuz.
If you just want to print a figure yourself, I can only suggest cults3d.com or myminifactory.com to have a look at, but suspect they won't have very much (if anything) 1930s style.
