Title: Pilots and tank crew
Post by: JollyBob on December 27, 2007, 05:38:49 PM

I need some help finding crew figures.

I managed to get a hold of the Airfix Robogear box set for a tenner in our local cheap shop, and I'm planning on kitbashing all the lovely vehicles into weird war stuff.

But I need crew! Preferably seated, both American and German, either tankers or pilots I'm not fussy.

I couldn't find any from TAG, BAM, Brigade or Black Tree, so I'm hoping someone here might know of some from another company.

Anyone?

All help gratefully accepted.  :?:  :)

CompanyB has a few crew-figures, under accessories in their shop

So you do.  :oops:

Unfortunately, they're not quite what I'm after. I'm really looking for seated driver type figures, not commanders, as lovely as yours are.

The Company B ones are more like what I need, but are still not right.

I'm very hard to please, see.

I'm thinking now that I may just make the cockpits closed, then I can do without crew altogether. Thanks for the info though guys, and sorry I'm being a bit vague and contrary.

Chieftain sells seated German crewmen with their softskins- maybe e-mail them to ask if they'd be available seperately?

Neo-Forge sells some of the old BGWWII German tankers.  Below are a couple pics of them.

Well, thanks everybody, some interesting stuff on those links, but unfortunately nothing that really fits what i had in mind.  :(

I think I've decided now to model the cockpits closed, and go with dismounted crew for if the vehicles get disabled.

Thanks again.
