What scale figures are you looking for? Some wargaming figures might work or more easily adapted for the gun crew. If I can help, happy to do so. Terry

This is truly amazing work!!! I just spent the better part of an hour reading and studying each post. I now know why i stopped building plastic models!!! I am much better off working in wood and metal, but always enjoy seeing the great work you all do!!! Terry

My father's bomber in WW2

You could always do my father's plane as Guillow's makes it in a balsa kit, but there's lots wrong with the color scheme and the name. . I like building balsa, but usually build from plans, and not to fly as I try to detail the cockpit, etc. I started this a good 20 years ago, and really...
