Gentlemen,

I plan to do a couple of vehicles from Korea War and wonder what kind of figures are out. I know of DML`s Winter Marines and Hobby Fan M40 Crew. I wonder if some DML WWII Marines could be used uniformwise for Korea. Also, will the new Tank Crew from Miniart be suitable for this war?
Are there any good internet sites with pics from Korea?
I know, many questions, I hope form many answers

TIA

For US Army soldiers, I guess that some late WW2 figures could be used (at least for the early stage of the war), like DML US infantry "Advance to the Rhine" (1st army, Remagen, 1945) set #6271, or US Army Tank Riders 1944-1945 set #6378....

You can find interesting Korean War pics on Flickr.com

You'll find informations about US Army uniforms on Olive-Drab

Hey Hans, D.M.L. also does a set of G.I.'s from the Korean war. Pusan Perimeter 1950-- kit #6808 Machine gun crew advancing; warm weather cloths. Depending on your time parameter, an assortment of left over W.W.2 uniforms and weapons will work for the outbreak up to about the first year.
