1/48 British Cromwell Mk IV by Tamiya

PBJ-Hguy

I am have almost finished the 1/35 Tamiya Cromwell and I was going to put it in a diaroma with a British infantry patrol set. I am not sure if they do them in 1/48 scale but maybe other companies do. I was using the soldiers as I have seen some photos of tank/soldiers together and also a diaroma at a hobby show earlier this year depicting a Cromwell in the D-Day landings. I am going to another show this coming Sunday so I will see if I can get some photos for you and e-mail them. Also here is a tip when building the kit: On the front of the hull there are 2 hand rails on either side of the lights. Be careful when cutting from the sprue as they break easily. Lucky I had some spares from another kit (I assume that the 1/48 kit has them).

PBJ-1H, 

 Tamiya does a set of British soldiers in 1/48 along with German American and Russian soldiers. I haven't seen anything on Japanese soldiers yet but I bet they will show up sometime. Alot of those sets also have tank crew with them so you might have all the figures you need.

See if these will fit the need.
