1/32 WW2 USAAF seated bomber crews?

Hello apologies if there is a better section for this, but having recently completed my motorised  and sound enabled 1/32 B-25 Mitchell, I'm getting my ducks in a row for the logical next step which will be the HK 1/32 B-17, for which I'll be using similar electronics when released. I'm painfully aware how strange the B-25 looks with no one on board and I'm not having any luck finding any after market crews. I was wondering if anyone knew of any obscure specialist niche makers anywhere that do any? I know we haven't had bombers in this scale for that long but it is a bit of an omission? Thanks for any pointers.

Yes! Master Details has several beautiful seated USAAF bomber pilot figures - including a navigator or bombardier if I recall correctly. Their website is currently down but Ultracast stocks their items. https://www.ultracast.ca/product-p/md32054.htm

 

 

Thankyouthankyouthankyou! Now ideally I'd like a whole crew including some gunners and a bombadier, but at least now she'll have a pilot

A friend built the 1/32 B-25 fully crewed using modified 1/35 tank crew. There is a large range of 1/35 figures in different poses available from a variety of manufacturers. They are usually a lot cheaper than specialised resin crew and you can afford to chop many to make one.

Thanks guys. I know the resin ones are expensive but I want to try and do this bird some justice and my figure skills are basic let alone creating Frankenstein ones!
