LEGO enthusiasts
have been using mini-figures for years. We have only recently seen limited use
of these figures in our hobby, and even then mainly for use with civilian
vehicle models.
LEGO has brought us a lovely little item in plastic - a pilot. This is
beautifully cast with exquisite detail. The face and uniform details are finely
printed and perfectly on register. The figure could be easily painted to
suit what ever era you need. If one so desired, by switching out the
helmet, accessories and perhaps some careful painting a variety of other
occupations could be modeled - ground crew, paramedics, lawyers, discussion
group moderators or even Monty Python characters!

The casting is a
multi-piece, with the pilot's helmet being really clever stuff - it is
interchangeable with any of the multitude or LEGO mini-figures available. The
arms and legs can be carefully positioned to suit their setting due to the
flexible nature of the figure - but don't move it about too much after painting!
Even the hand will accept a wide variety of LEGO mini-tools and accessories.
Despite the fact that this is a
multi-piece accessory, the instructions are very nice. There are tips on how to
pose the figure. This pilot will look great in a bang seat, resting on a
wing walkway, sitting in Starbucks or in a similar setting. It will really
help fill up those empty LEGO cockpits.
Highly recommended with no disadvantages.
