These look really nice. I may have to get the seated set to go in my Academy Viper.

DEF also released an update for Academy’s bird, but I guess that’s something for Aeroscale to cover...

I contacted Aeroscale staff members to inform them about the news. I'm sure it will be published soon.

Cheers,

I like the seated crew but the standing pilot looks too stiff and formal for my liking.

Very nice.

I believe with a change of heads and a dangling MP7 or CQB carbine, one can even make these standing pilots into light assault SOF soldiers in a relaxed pose.
