I am looking for some 1/72 scale helmet and goggles wearing figures to go in my WW I aircraft kits. can anyone recommend me a source that doesn't cost to much and where to find them. Thanks in advance.

Have you seen the figure set from Orion? Have seated and standing, pilots and ground crew. Fairly widely available

No I haven't. I went to the Plastic soldierreview.com and didn't see it with Orion figures. What does it look like and where can I get it?

The reason for that is the figures were first released under the brand Dark Dream Studio but they haven't been sold under that brand for many years

James,
I'm not sure what you consider to be "too much" in terms of cost, but I've found the figures from Germania Figuren to be wonderful. Here are a few:

W^D Figures also make some nice sets. http://www.wdmodels.com/page3.htm#wd10

WD10 RFC. I have this one and it is exquisite

WD21 Fitters/Mechanics (in resin)

Some of these German figures could be used for ground crew:
WD33 - German Pioneers

WD34 - German Light Railway Troops/Gunner

PJ productions make a nice pair of WWI seated pilot figures

Here one of them is in my Short 124

What I would like is the Revell Pilots & ground crew Royal Air Force WW II 02401, but this is no longer in production. Does anyone know a place in the US were I can get a set?

James,
Try Michigan Toy Soldier Company, they have hundreds, no, thousands of sets of figures on hand. Subscribe to their newsletter and get 10% off of every order. They've always been great folks to deal with over the years.

HTH!
