gift for a Pacific war veteran??
Posted by lolok on Monday, November 14, 2005 7:48 AM

Hi guys.I have a very good friend that I met through the forums while helping him with his tamiya Bismark...I found out later through E,mails that he served in the Philippines with the 25th infantry.We have kept in touch and he has also been a big help to me and I would like to surprise him this Christmas or as soon into the new year as possible with a 90mm or thereabouts figure of an Infantry trooper.

           My field is ships and napoleonics.That combined with being British means I am not very familiar with uniform styles,colors,etc of US servicemen serving at that time in the Pacific.He was a private by the way.

           So can anybody tell me if their is such a kit available..Resin or metal does not matter as long as it is a decent size so as to do a good paint job on...Maybe Verlinden say???I would look myself but I want to be sure and get the right dress and period for the Pacific.I assume the uniform and gear was different from European service?

         Any help would be gratefully accepted..he is getting along in years now and I would really like to do this for him as a surprise.             Jim.(LOLOK)
