i'm currently building a R/C flying model aircraft to 1/4 scale. It's a WWII Italian biplane and I need a "pilot" to sit in the office for authenticity. I've looked at specially made models but they're coming out over £200. Action Man is too small at 1:6, so does anyone have any ideas how I could do this reasonably cheaply?

Just looked and there is a 1/4 superman figure going for £20.

Surely he can be modified in - he looks a little italian

Thanks chaps for the advice, someone PM'd me with a link to SMC model shop in Sussex and I've ordered one of these:

Cheap enough and I'm sure I can mess about with dressing him to suit WWII Italian uniform.

Always happy to hear any other suggestions if you've got any, but thanks for info so far
