Howdy lads,
I need to pick your brains! #:-) I am in the process of building a diorama of a cannibalised Me-262. I am wanting to do a couple of American G.I.'s looking over the "wreckage", so I guess what I am wondering is does anyone out there do any figures (resin or otherwise) of American soldiers in 1/48. I have asked around at local hobby stores, and so far I don't like my chances
Hope someone out there can help, as I think it would really make the diorama (my first serious attempt at one!).
Thanx lads
P.S. while I'm at it, are there any manufacturers out there who do 1/48 military vehicles (modern, and WWII).
Later.......

There is a French company that specialises in 1/48 scale figures and vehicles http://www.quarter-kit.com They do WW2 and modern soldiers and are reliable, I've used them a couple of times with no problems.

Hi venom1, Welcome to Armorama
Do we get to see pics of the finished dio? Sounds interesting :-)

Thanx guys,
I'll check out the links you gave me and see if I can find what I'm looking for. Mal, in answer to your question, yes, hopefully you will get to see finished pix of the dio. May be a little while yet. Mods to the Dragon 262 kit are about 3/4 finished. After the aircraft is done, I'll have a crack at the dio, a lot of 'first time' stuff for me, so I imagine there will be a lot of trial and error stuff before I'm happy. Needless to say, when it's done I will post the pikkies for y'all to enjoy!
Thanx again lads :-)
