Hi!

I´m looking for some replacement heads with gas masks on... Preferably german WWII in 1/35 scale ... Anybody know if such a set exits?

Jesper

Hi

Not 100% sure but you might have some luck with Warrior brand, they I think did some replacement heads.

Failing that if you can find anybody with the Dragon figure set 6259 Eastern Front Tank Hunters it contains alternative heads for one prone figure which features a gasmask. Bit of a long shot I know but you might ne lucky and get several modellers willing to give it up.

Cromwell Models, who's site has been down for some time but Gordon still trading fine, did do some complete figures under a 1946 type theme.
Don't know if they are still available or fit in with your plans.

Hi Jesper,
Verlinden used to make a set of replacement heads that included one wearing a gas mask,
AFAIK, it's been OOP for sometime but you may be able to find a few around at your LHS's.
Good luck and Cheers

Thanks a lot Alan and John

Alan: The cromwell figures looks super cool! I´m actually gonna do a what if diorama with the working title "Frankfurt 1947" Here´s a mood picture I did a couple of days ago:


I will also take a look at the Warrior heads... Hopefully I´ll found them

The DML tank hunter set I was aware of... But it´s quite expensive and it only contains one mask... But like you say Alan, some modelers may be willing to sell it it to me... I´ll try this if my other leads don´t work out.

John: I´ve heard about these heads before, but I haven´t been able på find any... It doesn´t seem like Verlinden is making them any, since they´re not on their web site... Didn´t find any on Ebay either... But thanks for the tip anyway =)


Jesper

Scale Link has a set of ww1 german heads with gasmasks they are 54mm but they might work you can see them on their web site at scalelink.co,uk

Thanks John

This is very good information... Exactly what I was looking for... Have you or anyone else seen the heads in real life? The only image I found on their web site was rather sketchy

Hi Jesper, I have seen and used the scale-link heads , they are very good. I will be ordering some more in the near future as im going to do a WW1 dio of a German gun crew loading gas shells into a heavy howitzer. Scale-link is very good to do buissness with.
