Here is a reference photo and link to more info.
Soontir Fel, a character in the expanded universe, was considered among “the best starfighter pilots in the galaxy”. This figure is nearly finished, just missing the red “blood-stripe” down the sleeves, signature of the 181st Imperial Fighter Wing.
You can find a full Wookieepedia bio for Sooner Fel here.
This character was pulled together from a wide range of vintage figures.
Recipe:

Luke originally wanted to follow Biggs to the Academy and become a pilot. What if this had happened? Biggs was a Tie Fighter Pilot before he joined the rebellion, here’s what Luke would have looked like if things had worked out differently…
Recipe:
I had some extra parts laying around, and thought I would try a Tie Fighter Pilot with a removable helmet. This is only temporary, this figure will eventually become a Biggs Darklighter once I find an appropriate head for him.
