Figures for Trumpeter 1/35 LCM?

Figures for Trumpeter 1/35 LCM?

Does anyone know of any appropriate figures for the LCM?

Tamiya? Dragon?

I think the LCM had a crew of 4. I don't think there is a LCM crew
available but maybe something that can be adjusted to be at
least half-passable.

Thanks,

Verlinden does have a new set of crewmen for their LCM3. Here is a photo. The set is called US Navy Landingcraft Crew & Beach Party, WWII.

You could also convert your own. This is an excerpt from an article over at Armorama where a guy scratchbuilt an LCM6 a while ago and how he did the figures.
QUOTE: This left the figures. There are just about no sailors out there in 1/35th scale, however Roger Saunders from Hornet models came to the rescue and issued US and British sailor head sets just when I needed them. I used two from the US set and some from the sets of US helmets. The sailor in the wheelhouse and walking down the outside are from the Dragon US tankers set slightly modified and with new resin hands from Historex. The machine gunner is a bit of a Frankenstein from the spares box. For the vehicle crews I used the standing officer from the US tankers set with some modified Tamiya infantrymen. Most of the figures got new hands which makes a vast difference and they all got new heads. The faces and hands were painted in oils and the uniforms mostly in enamels so that they looked flat. I hand painted the insignia.
