How do I research military records to find out more about my namesake, who was my dad’s cousin in the Army and killed at Leyte during WWII.
Hi. I have tried Ebay… okay; I have tried a few Google searches… okay; I have tried my local HobbyTownUSA… okay, but I can’t seem to find what I’m looking for. I am looking for some good, low priced, quality miniatures for World War II in 1/72 scale. Not just your usual from Revell, Esci, etc., but something a bit more interesting and exciting. Something that has the odd parts of the army. I am looking for figures mainly from the Soviet Union’s fighting force, but also some cool pieces of WWII in China or Korea. For example, how often do you see a set called “soviet infantry”– all the time. how often do you see things such as- “soviet sniper teams”, “soviets on the Reichstag”, “soviet female infantry unit”, “chinese resistance” and others- rarely. these are the sets I am out to find. I am looking mainly for websites, but even places by MD are good as well. Or, if there may be a site where you email images or drawing to make your own unique custom figures, that is great. THANKS!!
