Luftwaffe and RAF figures in 28mm ?
« on: 26 January 2017, 01:32:38 PM »
Hello all

Does any of you know any manufacturer(s) who has Luftwaffe and RAF figures in 28mm?
I mean ground crew only and in european outfit not desert types. I know several manufacturers have pilots.

Cheers

Rui

 Ebob's Stalag range has some useful chaps:

Do you want them armed or unarmed? If you want armed Luftwaffe ground crew, maybe consider the Brigade U-boat crew figures. The open necked jackets would work as Luftwaffe jackets.

Westwind make some useable tank crew in overalls, which is what most groundcrew are going to be wearing.

Perry have a couple of groundcrew in their DAK range:

IIRC Killer B have a mechanic with a wrench in their range.

Thanks Carlos. :)

The West Wind figures are on the small size. More of 25mm though i use some for my Kriegsmarine.
The perry stuff is a good tip though they are more desert types and i forgot to mention i want them for europe.
They are on my wanted list. ;)

RAF ground crew in Europe in 44-45 would have worn standard-pattern British battledress.  If in a Servicing Commando in Normandy before the break out This would have been standard khaki, the rest in blue.  Headgear would have been helmet, forage cap or bare-headed (especially round aircraft).  Gunner figures would do you, but no leather jerkins.

ARKOUDAKI and Georgec, thanks for the info. :)

I´m on search for that crew from foundry. :D

My idea is some in blue uniform and some in khaki too.
Ground personel in blue and in grey too for the RAF and grey for the luftwaffe.
The guards at the entrance of the base in Khaki for the brits and infantry uniforms for the germans.
