Hi everyone. Does anyone know of a good supplier of early Pacific US army/marine figures? (think Wake or the Philippines.) Thanks for any help. David

For heads I would suggest Hornet (or similar) British heads with Mk l helmets without scrim netting. I'm sure any differences between Brit and US helmets of that period are insignificant. As for bodies I can't think of a thing, except maybe Dragon/MB lower torsos with gaiters with suitable upper bodies in shirtsleeves. They'll probably turn out to be real Frankenstein figs, though.

Thanks for the info. It seems to be an area all the mfg's have forgotten about.
