Hello modelers!
New to the forum, but I’m banging my head into a wall trying to find these out of production ReedOak F-18 figures with JHMCS helmets in 1:48 scale.
I’ve been stalking all the Facebook groups, eBay, everywhere I could think I may find these to include local model shows and this is basically my last ditch effort to try and find something.
Any ideas?
Hello and welcome to FSM,no thoughts on your search.
Welcome to the forum USMC0311! This seems to be a common problem, as many folks are looking for this figure. There is a thread on facebook in the 1/48 Model Aircraft Group where this very question was posed, and a gentlman by the name of Nick Waller from Australia is currently modeling/designing a 3d print of this figure and may be able to supply them to you. Here is the link to Mr. Waller’s account: (1) Nick Waller | Facebook and a link to the thread: (1) 1/48 model aircraft group | Is there a good source for 1:48 pilots for Hasegawa F-18’s that don’t require cutting off legs to make fit | Facebook.
I do not know Mr. Waller so proceed at your own discretion. I’m just a guy who cares and is trying to help a modeling brother out. Reedoak is out of the game as you know, but maybe Aerobonus or ResKit, or maybe Legends offer something close. Another way to find this figure is to search the 3D file sites for the figure you need and have a friend print it. Just spitballin’ here. Best of luck in your search. I want to see this plane when completed!
Funny enough, that’s my post. I may have missed the comment from him though so I’ll circle back and reach out to him.
It goes to show that great minds think alike!
Have you looked at the video aviation figures?
