1:25 scale kits with figures ?

[Mike999]

This one's obscure but they turn up on eBay fairly often:  years ago, TAMIYA did a few American and German WWII 1/25 military figures.  Most were done in both plastic and metal.  I've found these very cheap at kit swap meets, since they're sort of "orphan" figures - not many 1/25 scale tanks were ever made.  Along with the "right scale," they come with useful weapons and equipment.  The set of German staff officers from the 1/25 Tiger tank kit should look good with one of the ICM 1/24 Mercedes or Opel cars.

Here's the Patton figure, they all had similar box art:

Another good reason to pick up a Raiders Coach - along with that cool Hammond organ, it has speaker cabinets with Vox nameplates molded in. Perfect for your diorama of a Sixties-era garage band and their van or hearse!

The Raiders Coach box mentions that the figures are "molded in 'soft' thermoplastic."  Many years ago, figure modelers used to modify Elastolin and other "soft" plastic figures in amazing ways.  The British magazine "Military Modeling" had a lot of articles about that.  The biggest problem was painting them and the experts came up with all kinds of solutions - base-coating them with a mix of white glue/water, using white artist acrylic as primer, etc.  Enamel paints/primers would melt them.

Yeah, I think all of the Revell Racer Figures where the same body with different heads, even Shirley Muldowney's! 

And don't forget the Mongoos and Snake rails with driver figures and a crew member. And a Christmas Tree!

there is a company called American Diorama that has tons of figures in 1/24-1/25 scale. They are prepainted and they aren't too expensive.
