JP Pilot WWII Full-Body Seated Brown/Green (for SEA-276)
Description
The JP Pilot WWII Full-Body Seated Brown/Green (Part No: 5508447) is a lightweight, factory-painted pilot figure specifically sized for mid-scale warbirds. While it is marketed as a replacement part for the Seagull P-51D Mustang 10cc (SEA-276), its universal dimensions make it an excellent choice for a wide variety of 1/8 to 1/10 scale WWII-era RC aircraft.
Key Features:
- Perfect Scale Fit: Specifically engineered to fit the cockpit of the Seagull SEA-276 Mustang, ensuring the scale proportions look correct through the canopy.
- Ultra-Lightweight: Made from hollow, durable plastic or high-density foam (depending on the production batch) to ensure that adding a full-body pilot doesn't negatively impact your model's Center of Gravity (CG).
- Factory Painted: Features a multi-color matte finish with a brown flight suit, green life vest/harness details, and painted facial features, saving you hours of tedious detail work.
- Full-Body Design: Unlike "bust-only" pilots, this figure includes legs and boots, which is essential for models with deep, clear cockpits where the floor and rudder pedals are visible.
- Easy Installation: The flat-bottom seated design allows for easy mounting using silicone adhesive, Velcro, or small screws through the cockpit floor.

Pro-Installation Tip:
When installing this pilot in the SEA-276 Mustang, check the clearance between the pilot's head and the canopy before gluing. Some pilots prefer to trim a small amount off the bottom of the seat to lower the figure, creating a more realistic "deep-seated" look. To prevent the pilot from rattling or coming loose during high-G maneuvers, use a flexible adhesive like Zap Goo or Shoe Goo, which handles the vibrations of a 10cc gas engine better than rigid CA glue.
