Old School Model Works : R/C Pilot Figures - Cranky Cockpit Club (Realistic)

Cranky Cockpit Club - Realistic Pilots.

Whether you're needing to find a fearless flyer for your nimble .20-sized model or finishing your majestic quarter-scale masterpiece, OSMW has the perfect pilot bust ready for takeoff.

Welcome to the Cranky Cockpit Club.

We 3D-print these ourselves in-house, and each one is made from flesh-toned, UV-resistant PETG filament, built to handle sun, wind, and wild aerial adventures. We print them in ultra-thin layers to lock in those crisp details, and keep them feather-light thanks to using minimal infill.

Our pilots arrive unpainted and ready to be customized with your choice of enamel or acrylic paints.
We've shown painted examples of each below to give you inspiration—just don’t judge our paint jobs too harshly. Yours will almost certainly look better!
Drag the sliders (left-and-right) to reveal the unpainted pilot, and a sample painted version.

They're available in 6 sizes/scales - from 1/8 to 1/3.
Individual weight is an average of .2 ounces (5.6 grams) for the 1/8 size, up to an average of 4.9 ounces (138.9 grams) for the 1/3rd size.
Prices start at $8.95 each for the smallest (1/8), and you'll see the additional charge next to each larger size.

Price range: $8.95 (1/8) to $28.95 (1/3)

Ponytail Penny

Raised on crop dusters and war stories, Penny’s the type who doesn’t announce her arrival—the roar of her propeller does it for her. Her trademark ponytail has tangled in rudders, been mistaken for a windsock, and once had its own call sign. She features a flight suit and sunglasses.

Miss Mayday

Miss Mayday is known for her yellow flight suit and penchant for emergency landings that somehow end in applause. If the mission's impossible, she's already halfway done—and looking fabulous doing it. She features a flying cap, goggles and a jump suit.

Price range: $8.95 (1/8) to $28.95 (1/3)

Barnstormin’ Benny

Benny is a high-altitude hooligan who “acquired” his pilot’s license in a poker game. His pre-flight checklist is “Cap?” (Check) “Goggles?” (Check) “Swagger?” (Check) “Let’s go.” He features a cap, goggles, and flying jacket.

Price range: $8.95 (1/8) to $28.95 (1/3)

Sideslip Stan

Sideslip Stan zigzags through airspace like a paper airplane caught in a windstorm—and somehow always lands right on target. A master of evasive maneuvers and mischievous grins, Stan’s flight path is as unpredictable as his mid-air banter, but his squad mates know: when the skies get hairy, you want Stan slipping you out of trouble. He features a headset and flight suit.

Price range: $8.95 (1/8) to $28.95 (1/3)
