Mad4kits2 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Ok teaser before the turkey,where can I find 1/72 USAF ground crew,and resin,well detailed Blenheim type undercarriage wheels,or similar type bomber wheels,I'm mainly looking for effect,and looks,for a diorama. Have a great Christmas to all you molders and I hope you receive all the goodies you ask for. Dave a rather fanatical modler of some years.

Black Knight Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Search Hannants for both. Plenty of options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wm Blecky Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 You can get your Blenheim wheels here. As for USAF ground crew, ESCI had a set of the soft plastic (vinyl???) ones years back. They turn up on eBay either as figure sets or as part of a kit and figure set. HTH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardcastle Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Airfix also do a soft plastic set of USAF ground crew. Still available as I got one for my son recently. Tim H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 You might get better results in the Aircraft section.....We're not big on Blenheims in these parts, their armour was rubbish and though plentiful, their gun's were pitiful! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waistgunner Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I just purchased a set of USAAF ground crew from Heller they look to be re pops of the old Airfix set and ....... soft rubbery plastic . Had I been able to open the box they would still be at the hobby shop . HAHAHA ! I would like to see them (Airfix) do a re pop of some of the old figure sets in the new plastic they use in the new kits . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I'd recommend the various Revell ground crew figures TBH, many of them are Preiser repops (I believe Zvezda may do some too, if they do they should be good).....For all things 1/72 Plastic Figure related, let this site be your guide: http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Index.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thevid Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Preiser make an excellent USAAF ground crew set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
