Phil Wiehl Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Just starting on the 1/72 Severn (I seem to have the version where the hull sides and deck don't meet properly and need quite a bit of filling) and wondered if anyone knows of suitable figures for crew. I don't think there are any in the full RNLI gear but crews are sometimes seen in 'civies' such as thick jumpers, over-trousers etc. Please no 'reshape a 17th century lancer's body and fit to a modified Ming dynasty samurai', I'm doing well to glue things in the right place!

socjo1 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Hi Phil, Maybe PJ Production Sea King/SAR helicopter crew would be not bad? Regards, Michał. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) I think the 1/72 Preiser hard plastic Nato pilots/ground crew set might be an option. Hard plastic is always preferable (easier for conversions) : http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/review.aspx?id=952 Eduard also have some hard plastic figures in 1/72 : http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.aspx?id=2313 Regards, Arjan Edited April 10, 2021 by Arjan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Napoleonic War Engineers. Of course these men were tough but i'm not sure as tough as RNLI lifesavers... 😆 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arjan Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) I meant Eduard's Czech Airforce figures 😉: https://www.scalemates.com/nl/kits/eduard-7501-czech-air-force--115407 Arjan Edited April 10, 2021 by Arjan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Wiehl Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I'll have a look at those and see what I can use. Still work fulltime so it'll be a slow build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
