i think they can make both F18 and F14 pilot in similar mold but different color scheme on helmet and patch.

That's good news. I hope Fe-Form does release F-14 and F/A-18 pilots.
I'll be here with my credit card. :mrgreen:

D123451:

Thanks for the update and the news about the F-14 pilots.

My suggestions for F-14 pilots:
1. Make them PREPAINTED.
2. Release early-version pilots for the "Jolly Rogers" F-14 and later-version pilots for the "Black Knights" F-14.

Questions:
1. Do you have a price for F-14 pilots if they are prepainted?
2. Do you know when the F-14 pilots will be released?

"My suggestions for F-14 pilots:

That's a good suggestion for the Tomcat pilots.

Let's take this further.


Pre paint the flight suit and all the standard equipment but leave the two squadron patch areas (left shoulder and upper right chest) white and the helmet white. But, produce a sheet of decals that have squadron patches for both areas including helmet logos. That way a customizer can match the pilots to his F-14. A white base for the helmet makes it easier to paint light and mid tone hues.

D123451:

Thanks for the update.

I was able to buy a set of Skyworks F-14 pilots for the VF-154 "Black Knights" F-14 for a price similar to yours.

My suggestions for Fe-Form F-14 pilots:

1. I think Fe-Form should release two types of F-14 pilots---the "Jolly Rogers" with the older helmet and the "Black Knights" with the newer helmet. Since Skyworks produced both pilots, but is no longer in business, I think there is a customer demand for both types of pilots.

2. Unlike Skyworks, which produced numerous pilots with different arm positions (which made insertion into the cockpit very difficult with some pilots) and helmets, I suggest no multiple variations of arms raised to allow easy insertion to keep production costs low---both arms in the down position is fine.

3. Also, I would suggest Fe-Form pilots are ergonomically correct, so their legs fit easily under the instrument panel and around the control stick.

Like Dragon 53, I prefer the pilot to have both arms down, on throttle and stick. But throttle is missing in the F/A-18 :shock:

i finally caved- in and bought the pilot and the ejection seat. they fit perfectly in my f16 and both are very well made. before, i was kinda worried that the seat might not fit. i don't regret it. here are some of my own pics.
