Looking for 1/35 scale pilots

[Darkhorse]

Gents,
I'm looking for some pilot figures in 1/35 to go with my Trumpeter Hind, I will be doing a diorama from Afghanistan and am just missing the pilots.
Can't seem to find anything, anywhere. Got some really nice ones in 1/48, but nothing in 1/35.
Here are some pics of the big fella, going to do it as a "just back from a mission" with a platoon disembarking.

Sorry, got nothing but I'm sure someone will know.

You will need to seek them out on eBay but they were made by CMK (crap in my opinion), CMK F35168 Russian modern Helicopter pilots

seated as well, CMK F35169 Russian modern Helicopter Pilots

Blast Models, No BL35054F

Sadly, Live Resin never released their superb 48th scale Afghanistan Helicopter Pilot series in 35th or 32nd scale. However, it is worth looking them up to know how to add the body armor worn by many.

Yes I have the "live Resin" kits and they are superb, I must admit that I find it odd that these helicopter kits come out in 1/35 and no one has brought out any crew. Trumpeter will be bringing out the KA-52 in 1/35 this year, will have to add another bench I think, alongside the Hind and the Hip LOL

I have the Hind that I really want to do a very complex Hungarian paint scheme on. Then have the Mil 8 (?) troop transport and their Kamov as well. Have not delved into how good or accurate those kits are though they are the only game in town at that scale.

The Hip can do with a good cockpit detail, eduard or some other (all expensive LOL). I will open up the doors on the Hip and have a group of sappers with a donkey being unloaded. There is a fella there with a dog joining in the fun. The Karmov is hellish expensive, I have the Zvezda one in 1/72. Finished (sort of) the Zvezda Alligator in 1/48, nice kit (though you can't get them in Australia).

I managed to get the Quinta Studios cockpit upgrades for all my 1/35th helicopters. Yeah, not cheap but the detailing is so much better than most everything else out there that I just can't pass on them. Quinta is the only ones that had a correct instrument panel for a Ju87A Stuka (POS Trumpeter kit that I am STILL working on periodically)
I might be interested in the KA-52 if it is done right.

Getting anything remotely Russian is hard here....you DON'T want to know the BS and cost to get a set of PE here from Russia! But yes Quinta is great, the only cheap place I can get it from is Kazakhstan OMG!
