Nick C Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Hi I've got a Takom Chieftain Mk11 and FV432 next on the list. I've got vehicle crew figures but would quite like to open up the back of the 432. Does anyone know of any decent late 80's early 90's 1/35 British Infantry figures that are available to help man a diorama? Cheers Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Flangemeister Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Hi Nick Not much out there. Accurate Armour do some individual figures that are appropriate for late 1980s/early 1990s. Otherwise, Dragon's old "Desert Rats" 4-figure set but they have the body armour which wasn't normally seen in peacetime exercises. You maybe able to convert them to suit your plans.

Chris They were also in noddy suites, of which I spent almost every exercise in Germany wearing but they are good for taking kit from. Not the best moulding as they were a product of the era but handy to have. The SA80's aren't too bad which is a plus. Dan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthewbacon Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I'm sure we could let you have a handful of Airfix "Modern British Infantry" ("Modern" = c.1980 in this case). Trouble is, they are classic Airfix polythene figures, and they are very much "In Action" so it would have to be a live firing exercise... best, M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julien Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Gecko models do some nice WWII figures and are now doing modern British, might be worth dropping them a line for some cold war stuff? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
