I thought somebody did a set of Allied press figs (with cameras etc) but cannot for the life of me remember who it was. I've looked at the usual suspects (Miniart, Masterbox, ICM) to no avail - can anyone help by pointing me in the right direction?

Thanks guys! I think it was the Bronco set I was remembering, but that Nemrod figure looks interesting. Now to see what's actually available...

Certainly wish Bronco would convert those Brits into US Combat Cameramen!

The Bravo 6 figure is excellent!

A note on this set: Even though they are a useful figure set, they are a bit soft on detail and molding compared with more recent Bronco figure releases.
