I am planning a fairly neat diorama involving WWII US Navy/Marine airmen and mechanics. However I am having a tough time locating these figures. The plane is 1/48 scale. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I found a couple you might be able to use.

Hi S.B.

the ICM Figures are nice, but the Hasegawas are medioce (but maybe try to get their Jeep as it has a nice driver).

There are some US aircrew in the Hecker und Goros programme, but only a few of them on their website http://www.hecker-goros.de





IIRC CMK has also a few pilots /air crew.

Also have a look in the Verlinden catalogue (http://www.verlinden-productions.com/) .. you'll surely find some there.

Jaguar also has a set or two designed by Mike Good!!




(I know this one is Australian ...)

HTH as a start

best wishes
