Ultracast have some really nice ones. After that take a look at Resicast, Alpine have a aone in a leather Jerkin and some in Pixie suits. What is the time frame and where will the dio be set?

Also consider the Wee Friends(ex Jakrei) figures, plus the Hornet/Wolf or Cromwell ranges.

Hey Philip,
Here's that set from Nemrod that Alan mentioned:

They look good.
Here's another source for British/Commonwealth tank crew, Alpha Image:

The figures and faces are a little rough looking compared with some of the Resicast, Hornet or Ultracast sets but I like the ones I picked up.
I really like the guy putting on/taking off his Pixie Suit.
Cheers

Thanks all for the recommendations!

I was thinking of a Normandy scene.

After looking in to all the recommendations you guys made I have found a load of nice figures but I think the Nemrod figures will be the ones I go for as they will make a great scene.

Thanks,
Phil.
