I’m working on MRC’s 1/35 HH-60G and while I’ve seen aftermarket (a/m) modern helicopter aircrew, I’d like to have a couple of PJs to go with it. Does anyone know of any kits or a/m figures?
BTW before I get flamed here - I’ve seen the Nemrod (sp?) set and I’m considering that as a sort of last resort. Their “PJ” looks more like a crew chief or a gunner. I’m looking for a dedicated PJ figure kit.
Thanks in advance
This is the set by Nemrod. Some say the look like PJs, esp. the standing guy.

Also from Nemrod, atnding and kneeling guy could be PJs as well.

They are pretty pricey though, $24 for two-man set, and $42 for the 4-man crew.
Heh heh. As soon as I hit the initial “Post Messge” I remembered that Nemrod kit. Thank you for the fast feedback Gino, you were faster on the draw than I was to amend my question!
I agree the kneeling guy kinda resembles like a PJ. I was hoping there was a dedicated kit so as to avoid any surgery or piece-mealing parts from other figures.
They’re close, but not really there. Most PJs I saw were wearing the three color desert BDU. Webgear varied, but really can’t see that well in 1/35 scale anyway.
For the diorama you know of, I’m going to use two of Dragon’s Modern Marines kit.
One is already modified using a torso with a ILBV and the other will be OOB; of course both will get a head with a fighter pilot helmet (HGU-26) witch I’ll get from Nemrod’s PJ.
But to answer your question : No there are no other PJs except Nemrod’s.
I have both Nemrod’s kits and I realized the kneeling one in the second pic was a PJ only when I opened the box: he wears a BDU, a tactical vest (Blackhawk Omega?) and a HGU-26 without visor, pretty much the classic PJ gear.
So that kneeling guy in the four-man set is wearing an HGU-55 (fighter) helmet instead of an SPH-4 (helicopter) helmet? Still looks like I’ll have to do some work with it - looks kind of barren in terms of gear.
I’ve got that Dragon Marine set and thought about “borrowing” parts from it too. Between PJs, up-to-date Marines and soldiers, it looks like I’ll have to order more copies of it.
You guys confirmed what I had suspected. thanks for all your help fellas.
