You could switch out the pilot figure with a sitting guy wearing a baseball hat and fudge in some headphones. Just my $0.02.

I have some white metal chopper pilots (elheim figures) which fit that description.  But no, i'm happy with the one I have.

I always thought an AD-5/A-1E would be the perfect warbird for the pilot with a family, this is an inspired idea! I love the mix of passengers and I'm excited to see how it goes.

I'm also another DT-202 fan. One day...

Out of scale figures are nice because people aren't all the same "scale" anyway. Taller people, shorter people, fatter people, thinner people.... ha!

Agree.
That's why I have no problem mixing and matching various manufacturer's offerings in 1/35. Even different parts on the same figure, cos you get gorilla-arms, or longer legs, etc.
Not sure where I'd draw the line, though weaponry and web gear needs to be consistent.

As a fatter person with short arma and legs, I also agree.

;D

Thinking on't, the 3-Metre-Long legs some of the Anime girls have is stretching credulity a bit far... (Bleurgh Emoticon X-P )

Used to be a female journalist who worked for one of the UK biker magazines who could have given them a run for their money (literally)... 36" inside leg measurement IIRC.

Remember 'Airnet' Fred? Worked for BSH?

Something much less pleasing to the eye.  And as yet, without legs at all.

It is not a pretty aircraft is it.

Moulds are Monogram and despite it being in a Hasegawa box it has raised MMI copyright information inside and on the underneath of one elevator (dated 1967 and now sanded off).  Fit is poor and there are prominent sink marks and ejector pin marks to fill.

More like 'Utilitarian' maybe?
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

They certainly didn't waste any time making it looks nice did they.  The single seat Spad is not exactly a looker (unless you like them big and dumb looking) but this...

I've seen a photo of the prototype and it had a spinner. Definitely improves the looks ---

Sort of had the appearance of this Bearcat I built some years ago. Spinner was a bit smaller in diameter though. IIRC, the two aircraft had the same propeller.

If I'm not building models, I'm out riding my dirtbike
