US Naval Figures
http://www.ptboatforum.com/cgi-bin/MB2/netboardr.cgi?cid=101&fid=102&tid=409
Hello Guy's
just found a company that makes some very interesting naval items. They do an asortment of equipment & figures. Best of all they do some US Naval personnel in fatigue uniforms & in 1/35th scale just right for the pt boat. Might be able to convert there poses or mix them with the warrior figures for a change in poses.
The company goes by the name of U- Models they are a french company only small & just starting out but look very good. There web address is
www.u-models.com
you can also contact them at umodels@gmail.com
I'll be ordering some from them to convert.
Hope this is of interest for you guy's.

The one U.S. Navy figure pictured is excellent -- for a Stateside or ETO dockside PT.
Here's hoping they make more figures, in battle gear for a combat patrol -- helmets, kapok life jackets, sidearms, etc.

Did you notice the price of each figure. A reasonable sized crew for a PT boat would cost more than the kit.

Yeh that's the only drawback with resin figures there expensive. I keep hoping that by the time I need them Italeri will have made some. I'll keep hoping.
