LF 1/48 bomber crew figures
Posted by bstarr3 on Tuesday, March 27, 2018 9:10 AM
The monogram pro modeller and latest reissue of the visible B-17 both came with a set of crew figures. Anybody have those figs that they want to get rid of? Shipping's on me. Thanks

I don't have them, but there is an eBay seller I follow who sells sets of the figures, culled from kit sets.  His handle is "airplaneman2014".  I have bought some bags of Monogram figures from him, when I needed some quick.  I haven't seen the crewmembers from the Visible B-17, the ones in the high-altitude suits, in his lists.  But it's worth having a look, if no one here has them.

Best regards,

Brad

Also, I think a couple of those figures-the waist gunners and the bombardier, I think-were in the B-24D kit.  I had occasion to look at the instructions online yesterday, and I think they were included.

I have the figures from the B-24 kit if you're interested and they would help.

I build 1/48 scale WW2 fighters.

Have fun.

As I mentioned in my previous post, the B-24D includes the waist gunners and bombardier that were originally created for the Visible B-17 kit.  You can see them here in the kit instructions:

The pilot and copilot may be from the Visible B-17, too, but I don't know for certain.
