Help with figures for 1/18 scale Flying Sub miniature...

So I’m scratch-building an interior for the Rick Teskey 1/18 scale Flying Sub miniature, and I’m a bit stumped as to what to do about the pilot and co-pilot (what can I say; sculpting figures is not my forte).

Given the somewhat generic flight-jacket-&-khakis look favored by Admiral Nelson and Co. I was hoping I might be able to kit-bash commercially available 1/18 scale military figures similar to those pictured in this reference shot...

If any of you military modelers has any suggestions as to where I might find a suitable 1/18 scale match for the above figures I'd be grateful if you'd point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Oh, here are a couple of test fit/ work-in-progress shots of the exterior…

Oops, looks like my secret's out of the bag.

I make movie posters for a living, and those shots were taken in our production room. The designers are constantly throwing oddball images up on the wall, and that shot of W.F. is one of the tamer entries.

Thanks for the link to those 21st Century figs; with a little work I just might be able to Frankenstein a few of them together to arrive at a passable facsimile of Admiral Nelson and Captain Crane.
