Anyone have a source for 1:25 crew?
To be precise I would like British Royal Navy figures which are posable or which can be "amputated" and posed.
1:24 seem readily available but the difference in size at these scales can be incongruous.

Hello Roger
Tamiya has that scale. www.tamiyausa.com
You may have to alter the men to suit your needs but it's not that difficult. :D
We had to alter ours to fit on our crockett. Check it out!!

Roger, on a 1.80 m full size figure they scale out to 7.2 and 7.5 cms respectively. That is pretty close.

Big Hair Thanks I will check out the Tamiya figures. However, I have discovered before that what is released in the USA is not always available in Europe. I may have to import.
Martin Richards Thanks, also. Yes, I realise the relative sizes/scale but those few mm. do make a difference when set against a cabin door which is where one sailor must stand. I gess "butchery" is called for. I notice you are in Spain and presumably British. Do you have fun as I do with a mixture of local French patois and boating slang in other than my mother tongue?

Hi Roger!
Tamiya also has a European website. If you go to www.tamiya.com you can click on the european link. I hope this helps!!! :D

Thanks to all who have replied. I have found the Robbe figures at 1:25 wll suit my needs best as they are flexable/posable.
