Hi,
I have been trying to contact these folk at http://www.ytinternational.co.uk/tailored_pilots/tailored_pi lots_home.html as they advertise a 1/4 scale pilot that would suit my needs very well but so far have not had a response. Does anyone know if they are still trading?
Thanks
Peter

Have you tried "Best Pilots?'
They did an entire B-17 crew for me.
They can tailor a figure to your request.

Yes, I have a crew for my Ziroli B-25....excellent, but they don't have bigger sizes than 1/5.
Cheers
Walter

Thanks Walter, Keith,
Pity that. I really like the advertised products. Getting a custom made likeness from bestpilots would be great (expensive I guess as well) but I need 1/4 scale.
Cheers
Peter

Hi Peter,
in 2011 I met Richard and Patti from Australia in the net. They where also producing scale pilots. I ordered one ....and man that guy looks great for my Mick Reeves 1:4.5 Hurricane and PT-19.
But I don't know if they still doing that job. If you're interested you can sent a pm to me, so I can give the e-mail adress to you....I hope they don't mind


Cheers
Walter

quite some time ago (a year or more) I read a post from Patti that they were giving up on the production of scale pilot figures in order to concentrate on their building and fabricating of composite aircraft. At least that's what I seem to recall.
She stopped taking orders in may of 2012.

Hi Walter, Uncle Paulie,
Thanks for your assistance - great pilot, Walter! I think you are correct with Patti and Richard's pilots no longer available, UP.
Cheers
Peter
