I've got two models buried somewhere in my "Someday I'll actually use
this"
pile, which I purchased specifically for SGII purposes.  One is a 1/48th
scale Testors "Stealth Helicopter", which looks very weird and science
fictiony.  The other is a very strange model...a Monogram "Eagle Lunar
Explorer", which can be built as either 1/4th or 1/144th.  It's a VTOL,
armed with a Vulcan cannon and rockets; really quite cool looking.

In both cases, the pilots are pretty darned close to 25mm scale.  Close
enough for my purposes, at least.
