Hi.
Does anyone know of a set of 1:35th figures that would suite a 20mm Flak (Flak 30) painted up as DAK? If I can't get a specific set I'll source the relevant bits from kits available. Sculpting isn't in my toolbox at this stage.
Cheers
Shane

You could try buying the figure sprues from Rainbow ten for the Tamiya Afrika Korps 88

Oh, and if you need a seated figure, you could do a fairly simple conversion on the seated figure from this Tristar set: German Africa Corps

Hi Shane
You might be able to use the german grenadiers (Italy) from Dragon. They are in rather relaxed/seated poses, and in semi-tropic uniformes. I don't have a picture or the number, but it's a fairly new set.

Jacob

Thank you all for taking the time to respond.
Pat. I hadn't thought of just trying for the figure sprues.
Thanks Bill for the Hobby Fan pointer. I hadn't found these on my travels.
The gunner is the figure I'm most interested in. The rest of the crew could be kitbashed from other DAK figures. A friend suggested this originally. I actually have the crew from the Italeri Sd. Kfz. 10/4 with Flak 30 kit. With these plus the suggested figure kit options and maybe even some new heads I should be able to come up with a good looking set of crew.
Again, many thanks.
Cheers
