Scoured internet can't find any figures 1/48 scale for desert or hot weather dioramas of airforce groundcrew as they were often seen, in just shorts and boots with socks down over boots. Luftwaffe were seen as this in the Battle of Britain, also Italy, Sicily, Desert war. Ditto RAF desert.
60 yrs of modelling progression and no one in all that time has produced a much seen groundcrew figure as this that would lend itself to all four main airforces in one or more theatres.
Just one set, Verlinden, has two, but its scarce, not well modelled, and they dont make up a busy scene !
Anyone know of any 1/48 figures that could be adapted ?

I've seen a couple of Luftwaffe figures in a magazine recently in tropical kit, including a pith helmet for one. They could be adapted, I will have a look at who has made them for you & repost with the details.

Plus models item number AL4063 "Crew Bf110".
They are in this month's Airfix magazine. They might be a bit Luftwaffe specific but as you talk about adapting them, they might be of some use to you.
