Hi guys

Maybe this is interesting: CMK U-Boat Crews:





Could be used well in combination with the Revell U-boat (which is a thing I'll do in the future)

Here in the Netherlands, they cost € 10 - € 13

Grt,

Can you give a little more infor on how the detail on the figures is?
10 € for 3 guys in 1/72 is a bit much if for me.... (but I never bought resin parts before, so I don't know the general prices)

thanks

I think the prices are pretty normal for resin figures....3 1:35 resin figures cost about 25 euros (depending on the brand)

Don't know anything about the qualitiy of these figures

What I'd say, is use one or the other...
one would be perfect for maintenance in port...
and the other would be great for advance on the surface !

There are a total of 6 sets out there

I have the 72133 crew on security
72131 88mm gun crew and
72116 conning tower crew

I would say for 72nd scale these are nicely detailed

I know they have 3 more sets one has them loading torpedo and two other sets show crew at rest. Check on ebay under u-boat they are usually a few sets for sale and you may get them cheaper but also can view the other sets
