Just looked on dragons website for more info,and found that you get 6 1/350 injected molded crew figures.Thats all good especially in the scale but 6 crew figures could they not have added say 20 or 30 so you could space them out on the finished model.Or maybe they might sell a separate box in thenear future.

Looks a realy nice kit but way out of my league

Looks great. agree a few more crew figures would have been nice, especially as the poses look good.

Would also like to see Dragon release the figures from their US Destroyers sepearately.

regardless of the figure shortage, still a fantistic looking kit. Am saving my pennies for when it hits the UK

The crew men were done the old fashioned way. They were hand sculpted in about 1:24 scale then they used a scaling device to make molds in 350th. There was as much work put into them as there is into any 35th scale Dragon figure set, so unfortunately we only had time to do these six for the kit itself. I have a feeling that as time permits there will be other figure sets made available.

I would like to see figure sets fm dragon, I am using the Fujumi sets at the moment to populate my vessels, they are ok, but a bit bland & very limited number of poses.
