History
Royal Flying Corps pilots served at the forefront of early aerial warfare during World War I, flying reconnaissance, fighter, and bomber missions over the Western Front. Seated pilot figures allow modellers to portray aircraft in a ready-for-flight state, adding life and realism to their displays. RFC uniforms typically included leather flying coats, helmets, goggles, and scarves to combat the cold of open cockpits at altitude. Including such a figure in a model build not only enhances its visual appeal but also helps tell the story of the men who flew in this formative period of military aviation.
