Looking for a 1/48 scale pilot for an IL6 fighter.

[sudzonic]

hay folks, I am working on a 28mm scale war game army commission for A Very British Civil war army. There will be a few what if'ed IL6 fighters in the commission but the kit I am working on just now dose not have a pilot figure in the kit. The model is going to be modified to be mounted on a flying base so I need to find a pilot.

Dose anyone have a spare that would work? It dose not need to be a Russian so any thing form that era would do?

Thanks guys.

Isn't 28mm closer to 1/72 scale (25.4mm)

The IL6 is a 48 scale kit as the customer asked for.

28mm is roughly 1:56 scale so 1:48 is closer ( and due to scale creep some 28s are now nearer to 32mm)

Not sure where your dimensions come from SP, but I've just measure a couple of 1/48 figures that I have which came with 1/48 scale airplanes, ones measures at 38mm and the other at 40mm ---- that's minimum 10 mm different whereas there's only 3.6mm different to the a 1/72 figure. Most figures are about a scale 6 feet so that translates into 1/65 scale for 28mm high figures

the scale with wargames figures is the problem,  they were origanaly mesured from base of foot to eye level, as a lot of the historical figures had big hats ( shakos, bearskins , miters etc) which made mesuring the true hight difficult. This is one of the bigest  problem in wargaming as wile  figures from 2 companys may be  in 28mm, they can be widley different hight wise, ( theres a moan abought it earlyer   {ahah  here it is http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,31878.msg401892.html#msg401892})

Yup scale in wargamming has always been a bugbear. Doesn't really exist. Even in the days of old if you took Hinton Hunt 20mm and compared to Mini Figs 20mm it was like Noddy in the land of the Giants

I am not big on the scale sizes I just paint the models for the client  If you are interested in seeing some of the figures I have loads on my business facebook page.
