Pilot Figures, seated in 1/48 scale?

Hi All;

Does anyone know of a good/detailed 1/48 scale rendering of a seated pilot figure (World War One likeness). I like placing pilots in my model aircraft but usually have resorted to either modifying a standing figure or reworking a WWII pilot figure (my favourite is the Monogram/Revell P-51 pilot figure, after removing oxygen mask etc. it looks quite good). This all is alot of extra work however and I have been unable to find a suitable "seated figure" on the internet.

Also, it becomes expensive to purchase a model only for the pilot figure (only do this for my very favourite modelling jobs).

Thanks,

scooterjmuggs

Working on a seated german pilot to fit the Albatros fighters (and others as fit) at the moment. However it might take some more weeks to finish (I'm slow). And then it has to be released of course.

Sorry thats not of help in the moment but others made good suggestions.
