Howdy!

You could try Dragon's SEAL Team II or III - I think that'd do it. Hope it helps, have a nice day

There is/was the ancient Heller "Hommes Grenouilles/Group D'Intervention France" (Gendarmere) kit No. 135, which features three divers standing/sitting in a rubber Zodiak type motor raft. Two divers in full SCUBA gear, one standing, one sitting and the driver is just in a wetsuit with mask. Not too bad for the times, date of mfr being unknown but I'd take a stab at around 1975ish. I have it started from many many years ago and no doubt, this kit is long OOP but I would imagine, may still be found at shows etc.

Thanks,
Kevin Keefe

Testors re issued that set as UDT or Frogmen or something like that in the late 70s/early 80s

Seems to me that good old MONOGRAM had an LCVP type boat and it had two divers and two boat crew in the kit . I think it was 1/32.I will tell you this , this kit was out many , many years ago . You might find it on E-BAY . Not much help, but that,s all I could think of .            tankerbuilder

Yupper, Testor's/Italeri kit... Three frogmen in that 'un, IIRC.. Don't think they all had SCUBA gear though.. Just wet-suits, flippers, and masks...  I ended up using them as "barebacked" figures or something, I don't remember what happened to them...
