Hello everyone! Could you help me about the model of HELLER 1/100 LE SOIL ROYAL. Can I use 1/72 figures on it? Will be a big difference on eye? I like so much this model!
Thank you

Sorry to tell you that 1/72 figures will be much to big.
I believe 1/96 figures are available but I don't know where from, I'm sure others will be able to tell you

15 mm war gaming figures might work, if there are any in the historical period you are modelling.

It would look funny.
An man of 1m-82cm height (6') stands 25.4 mm on a model of 1/72 scale.
A man of the same height would stand 18.2 mm on a model of 1/100 scale.
A 1/72 figure standing on a 1/100 model would be like a man of 2m-54cm height(8'4")standing on the deck of the actual ship. Very tall.
Hope this is a help.
