Notty Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elger Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now ideally I'd like a whole crew including some gunners and a bombadier, but at least now she'll have a pilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard E Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Not seated crew members but Reedoak produce a couple of standing figures which you may be able to use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Russell Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notty Posted May 14, 2020 Author Share Posted May 14, 2020 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
