Hi Stu, while I am no expert in 1/72 figures, this website should be able to help:

http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Index.aspx

its basically a review site for 1/72 figures, and cover most of the plastic manufacturers out there. Hopefully u can find something that suits your diorama!

Cheers
Lawrence

p.s. keep us posted on your dora's progress!

Hi Stu. I have bought various Italeri and Airfix and other infantry figure sets in 1/72nd. With some judicious carving with a exacto knife, I have made them look generic enough to go on my Dora.
As to the Dora, make the hoists attachment to be a 4 part line, not the single rope the instructions call for.
