Does the Dragon Wings F-16 Fighting Falcon "Wolfpack" include a pilot?

[valkyrie]

Yes. The later releases of Dragon F-16 include pilot figures but fitting them inside the plane can be a challenge.

VALKYREI:

Thanks.
Most of the Dragon Wings PR photos I've seen of the F-16 "Wolfpack" don't have a pilot.
However, I've seen 1-2 owner photos of the "Wolfpack" with a pilot. I wasn't sure if the owners just added their own pilot to the F-16.

Indeed, it may quite be a challenge to insert Dragon´s pilot figures into any of their jets. Luckily, the legs are bendable since the figures seem to be made of some kind of rubber or something... otherwise, it would even be worse.

I managed to insert both pilots into my NSAWC F-16B after sanding half of their butts away. On the other hand, I had to add 1, 5 mm of putty to the pilots´ butts of my CW F-14D so now their heads are fully visible from aside.

Thank god for my experiences from my former (plastic modelling) life!

all of my Dragon pilots are amputees, i cant be bothered with trying to bend them and push, pull and twist them till they fit so i just chop their legs off and they slide straight in there no problem

Unfortunately, this seems to be the only way to get them to sit properly in the cockpit. Otherwise their "back" starts to pull away from the seat and they begin to bend at the knees towards the canopy.

Thanks for the info. Now I'm still looking for a F-16 Wolfpack.

As for the contortionist pilots, my Century Wings A-6 Intruder crewmen are a tight squeeze, too. When I slide the canopy forward, the slide tab is so thick, it squeezes the 2 crewmen together. I had to use Elmer's glue to get them to appear relatively upright.

You can still find most of the Dragon F-16C including the Wolf Pack 2002 at M.I.B Global online store in Australia.
