The two Black dog RFC mechanics are great. And I think black dog's no. 2 is quite nice. There are several photos that show French pilots didn't always wear the flight suit. But the pose, leaning against an airplane and smoking, is exactly the same that Wing Cockpit once did.
I wished the figure makers would offer more pilot figures actually interacting with their planes and/or the ground crew. There are so many fascinating resin or white metal figures around, I have seen so many dynamic vignettes and dioramas that actually tell funny/sad/drastic/dramatic/... stories! Why not producing such figures? There are great exceptions, e. g. Wings cockpit's ground crewman that sits on the fuselage of an albatros, helping the pilot to close his flying helmet. Also Copper State's RFC guys are really cool. But their new range of aces is stiff too. When we take all the existing pilot figures, all the stiff poses of all manufacturers together one could think pilots in WWI had nothing else to do than standing the whole day next to their machines, hands on hips, or smoking, waiting to be photographed. So boring...
