Hi all,

i'm looking to get hold of some 1/35 mechanic figures in overalls/coveralls, if anyone can send me some suggestions or post some links to websites that would be great. ideally i would need them to be in some kind of action pose, bending over or peering into an engine compartment, but i could be able to alter some of the poses if they're not to extreme, thanks.

David,

Try the Tamiya German Tank Ammo Loading Crew, not least as they're in coveralls; their figure fixing a Kubelwagen is also useful though you will have to modify his uniform a bit.

Or similarly the guys from the Tamiya Tiger/Panther engine set. They are fairly nonedescript, just need different heads.

Well done Steve, I'd forgotten those (even though they're languishing in my stash). A couple of Hornet Heads and you're there!

As I recall ICM (or it might be Master Box), makes a set of US mechanics figures in non-descript coveralls that would be suitable for civilian mechanics as well-- with only one figure in a helmet, the rest are in floppy caps. You might try there.

SKP has two civilian tractor drivers in overalls.

Have a look at Reedoak .they do modern mechanics.

Royal Model

MK35

do you know anyone who stocks these royal model figures in the UK?

I believe FOG models are a supplier, but don't think they stock much. Maybe they could order them if you are reluctant to purchase direct from Italy.

H.P.

There is this guy from CIX Models out of Italy. (I have ordered from them and there is no issues) https://www.scalemates.com/kits/cix-models-cixm022-mechanic--1246019

And a quick search on Scalemates came up with a few.

good leads for all sources here.

Would MAiM "Mechanic with Wrench" (MAiM MAIM35374) fit the bill ?
