Guys,
I'm looking for a crew for my Meng AMX-30B2 kit.
I have seen the Blast model figures, but they don't look great. Does anyone know if there are any other suitable figures available?
Thanks,

Paddy.

Paddy,

I must disagree (though not for the sake of it!); I feel the Blast figures are pretty good - I have their BL 35268 set though I plan to probably use them on something else.

However, Djiti do a 2 x figures set here:

Blast is pretty good.
Another option is KMT:

Hi Brian, to be honest, my problem with the Blast figures was that there were no decent photos of them, especially painted.
I'm going to order the Blast figs, as you have seen them up close and I'm happy to take your word that they are good.

Thanks also guys, for taking the time to help out and put up some recommendations.
Some other nice figures from KMT.

Oo-er, no pressure(on me) then!

I do hope you like them; I've had mine for a couple of years but just haven't gotten around to building that French Army vehicle yet. I am sure they'll paint up well and hope you find them acceptable.

Good luck with them.

Brian
