Dragon 1/6th Pilot Figures

[planejunky]

Not exactly model aeroplanes, but I've seen the 1/6th scale WWII figures that Dragon are producing, anyone got any?

I like the look of the Eastern Front Luftwaffe pilot, the detail is superb and the equipment is spot on. The AVG pilot looks good too especially the minature A2 jacket complete with the "Goolie Chit" sewn on the inside, and the S1 parachute rig is stunning.

Ok I always wanted the Battle of Britain uniform set for Action Man when I was kid, and never found one, my life has never been the same since... boo hoo. :(
Just out of interest did anyone actually get hold of the BoB action man uniform set all those years ago? It's probably worth a fortune these days! ;)

I have the B17 pilot by Dragon and a couple of others by BBi (among other 1/6th figs,my other vice) they are first class but i prefer the BBi ones more detailed and better kit.They do 2 WW2 RAF pilots the Europe one looks like Richard Burton and the North Africa is Clarke Gable they are well worth collecting.

Totally agree Sniper, I have those two BBi guys too. The North Africa figure is amazing fully decked out in the parachute & harness. Incredible detail. I also have the ThreeZero RAF Bomber Pilot in full Irvinsuit, not up to BBi standards but still nice.

By the way, are you a No. 4 sniper?

I saw the North Africa pilot on ebay last night, looks very good. Is there anywhere in the UK that stock BBi or Dragon figures?

Try Modellers loft they are the main 1/6th dealer in the UK.No not No 4 though I have shot it my usual is an Hk33.
