    Question 1/72 Figures?

    Can anyone point me in the direction of a good online surce for 1/72 figures? I'm thinking of doing a diorama for my WWI Gotha Night Raider Bomber, and want field crew.

    Airfix, Matchbox, Hasegawa, and Revell/Germany all make good figures, although most are soft plastic.
    If you bought it, we brought it.

    Em. I don't know if this set is available in the US but it would be worth a look.

    3 figures from World War One including a German pilot and crew. They are in resin and I don't know what the quality is like but they are the right thing for your Gotha.

    Can't say for the aircrew but I've got Czech Master SS Panzer figs in 1/72, the castings are great, but they seem a little overscale.

    Thanks! I see that set listed in the site Aussie Dave suggested...a great site. I didn't look too closely at it, but I believe this will be the puppy I order! I stopped at the hobby store on the way to getting the car serviced this morning, and bought a "grass" mat to afix to an old award plaque...this for my Gotha. Nothing horrendously special...just enough to give a little more umph to the model. Thanks guys!

    If you want something a little bit different to add, get a couple of artillery horses. They used horses quite often to tow the planes at the airfields.
