Need 1/48 scale GI's "at ease"

Greetings,
I am currently working on a small diorama of a 1/48 scale Focke-Wulf Fw190D9 Dora, the "Red 1" of the JV44 PapageiStaffel, after it had been abandoned and subsequently captured by American GI's at the airfield at Munich-Riem in May 1945. Basically, I'm looking for decent 1/48 scale GI figures in fatigues and casual poses, essentially just hanging out--no combat poses, not armed, nothing aggressive. Just some guys hanging out, chatting or posing for the camera in front of the pretty airplane. I have the Eduard set of USAAF Personnel, which are pretty casual in their poses, but the figures are of surprisingly poor quality--poor detail, injection holes that needed to be filled with putty, poor fit--really not very impressive (the artwork on the box is hysterical, however--totally out of scale personnel in front of some bizarre, totally fictitious fighter plane that looks like a P40 with a huge nose gear and a mysterious air scoop behind the cockpit...either the nose of the plane is about seven feet off the ground, or the figures are about 12 feet tall...it's almost worth the price of the kit.) Does anyone know of any good quality 1/48 figures that fit the description? I would be forever grateful. Thanks!
