aircrew
« on: 06 December 2014, 10:45:27 AM »
Looking for 1/48 scale or 1/56 scale machine gunners for my BoB air fleet.  I'm a big fan of the Copplestone half pilots, but what about machine gunners for rear seats or big planes such as Gothas.  Any suggestions?

How about the Airwaves 1/48th stuff from PPL? and there seems to be a lot of small resin casters doing figures to go with plastic aero kits these days.  In fact I think I saw a aimer/bomber figure for a WWII US big bird in this months Airfix mag but I do not have it to hand.

Hannants have some 1/48 WWI aircrew in their catalogue https://www.hannants.co.uk/search/index.php?setPerPage=25&product_type_id=1880&scale_id=955&search_direction=asc&pageID=1

As 1/48 is a standard aeromodelling scale you'll find a lot of figures in various manufacturers ranges eg http://jaguarmodels.com/store/?dest=products&prod_id=5028 http://www.hyperscale.com/2007/reviews/kits/eduard8511reviewrb_1.htm

You'll struggle to find 1/56 though.

I was planning on some for my airship.But I've no intention of making any before the end of Jan.As I've alot to have ready for the York show.If your interested I'll ask Simon to cast them up,as I only intended to do them as bespoke figures.Which means I should have some for the begining of Feb.

As there's a bit interest I'll explain this bit a more.I intended to only make a couple around re worked Vicker's 'K' machine guns.From the 1st Corps Jeep's.
But for fun I'll make a larger set.So if you want to pm or post the odd picture then I'll have a better idea of what people want.
But if its the whole airship project I'll start a topic in Jan. as I've still my 8" howitzer tutorial to finish first.
