PJ Productions also does some very nice pilot figures as well.

Here is a Tamiya pilot with a Monogram pilot. Both are of the same rough mold era vintage

And a pair of their WWII era, Monogram left, Tamiya right. The Tamiya pilot is from the Dewontine, while the Monogram is from their P-51D

Image

One other constant is that the Tamiya pilots are smaller in stature when compared side by side.

Paul those are Reedoak pilots. I gotta say, "Hoser" is looking good in that cockpit!

They offer them in the most common scales, but on request they print them in nearly any scale.

That is really shaping up nicely! Looks great.
