Need 1/35 American Soldiers Korea (Winter)
Posted by fripp271 on Monday, November 14, 2005 9:48 PM
Does anyone know of a manufacturer of American Infantry in 1/35 scale of the Korea era?  I'm looking for winter dress and are there any decals for these troops?  I would like walking infantry and support personnel.  I'd appreciate any info on the subject.

DML has two US Korean war sets. 

USMC Korea 1951 Winter Gear:

 

US GIs Pusan Perimeter:

 

You could also use some WWII figures.  The uniorms were not drastically changed between WWII and Korea.  Dragon has lots of WWII figures, with quite a few in winter dress.

As Gino have mentioned, Dragon/DML has produced 2 US GI kits for Korean War Era.  However, that Pusan Perimeter would be near impossible to find these days (at least I haven't seen that kit for ages). You can also try Verlinden or Jaguar.  I also have built quite a few kits dedicated to Korean conflict and I ended up using Tamiya or other DML kits to convert them to fit more into Korean conflict era. 

Good luck and keep us informed with your progress.
