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

Cranky Cockpit Club - Wildcard 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.

Sprocket
