1:32 AIRCRAFT need THIS more than anything else!

1:32 AIRCRAFT, DESPERATELY need GROUND CREWS and EQUIPMENT!!
I currently own 40 different WWII aircraft. They are an impressive sight, sitting neatly on their shelves in landing gear mode and lets face it, that's where their going to stay 99.9% of the time, unless I start to play. The only thing that could make them better are GROUND CREWS repairing and servicing them! How awesome would that be?

(SERIES 1)
1:32 LUFTWAFFE GROUND CREWS & EQUIPMENT
1:32 R.A.F. GROUND CREWS & EQUIPMENT
1:32 U.S.A.A.F (Europe) GROUND CREWS & EQUIPMENT

(SERIES 2)
1:32 JAPANESE IMPERIAL AIR FORCE G.CREWS & EQUIP.

Next to Weapons sets for the 1/72 jet fighters, ground crews for 1/32 are a good idea.

A couple of manufacturers do have these for some of their models. Corgi have a few of their 1/32 aircraft that come with ground crews, and GMP have two different dioramas for their 1/35 line of P-40's and P-51's. One is European, and one is Pacific.

The Tri-State Warbird Museum had a GMP diorama base donated along with a P-51D Blue Noser. I noticed the Mustang seemed small for 1/32 and then saw it was 1/35. Tried to use a 1/32 plane with the diorama base and figures and it was obvious, to me at least, the scale difference was enough to make it not practical for use with 1/32. Too bad.

Like Snake said, some Corgi 1:32 planes come with some ground crew. I bought a Hurricane and there's a guy with wheel blocks, a pilot with a parachute on who looks like he's washing a window with a sponge in his hand, and another that looks like a pilot positioned to be half in and out of the aircraft. They're die cast as well.
Don't know if you can buy them separately, probably not, but that would be cool.

Too bad someone doesn't make some bomb dollies and tow tractors. We can get a German ambulance, but I don't think there's any allied ones. A small fuel truck with crew would be cool too.

That diorama is sick!!

Unfortunately Corgi costs a fortune and I can't justify buying it for 2 ground crew guys. I'll buy a Hurricane kit instead.
Are you listening F.O.V.?

!!!!!! WE WANT !@#$%^& GROUND CREWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
