Hey all, I have bought some figures made by monogram models they are called pocket force US 7th marines Vietnam and Vietcong guerillas I got them off ebay and they were said to be Nscale they measure a little over 1inch tall and 1/4 inch shoulder to shoulder. Referring to the scale and guage chart 1/72 figures are about this size. I was wondering would it be right to use 1/72 huey's in my dio I not quite sure of the scale difference. I have 3 hueys located on ebay havent bid yet but not much time left could use a quick response thanks for helping.

Your measurements sound about right for 1/72nd scale.. however seems
to be variances in size for molded figures of that scale depending on the
company.. The more involved in the huey the figures are the more likely
any scale differences will be noticeable.. ie. if they are sitting in the bird or
close to it. Good luck

Hey Kancali thanx for the response my plan is to have a downed huey the marines are trying to check for survivers when the VC attack so the marines wont be that close to the downed bird I may even have a gunship firing on the VC. So maybe a litle forced prospective if I can figure out how to do this and make it look right will get me by
