The clothes on this one are just so out of date and poorly tailored, that there's just no use for them. I tried the jacket on another body just to see, and it still doesn't work. This is 2009 era Matty Collector quality. I can already tell the material itself won't last. I'll scavenge the viable parts and heads and use top to bottom different clothing if this one gets displayed. I already started modding another DiD A-2 jacket. For anyone looking for an excellent quality flightsuit, the DiD one from their Top Gun Maverick figure can't be beat.
Already a massive improvement with body swap as expected. The body is 80% of the problem with the Mondo figureYeah I was checking out various flight suits on ebay but don't see anything good at the moment. I did order some leather combat boots though to replace those awful plastic ones.
So far I haven't done much but throw it on an old generic body, but it's already made a huge improvement I think.

The stock ones are very sturdy, but the hands paint is awful and the pegs are ratcheted with big steps, so you can't fine tune the pose.Already a massive improvement with body swap as expected. The body is 80% of the problem with the Mondo figure

I've searched to try and identify the actual suit, and so far nobody seems to know what pattern it is, or what country it might have come from.
It may have been customised or specially made for the film, taking it's cue from the style worn during the Vietnam War.
In this video they said that the most accurate real word example is the commercially made one called, 'Cotton Rip Stop Pilot's Jumpsuit', which is "almost identical minus the vertically opened waist pocket and buttoned cuffs".
So the chances of finding an off the peg 1/6 example are likely zero.
Maybe a third party company could be tempted....
I am making a custom for a second one. I couldn't find any flight suits with the same zipper layouts. If no one pointed out the zippers, I wouldn't have even known it was on him in the movie.Yeah I was checking out various flight suits on ebay but don't see anything good at the moment.
