I just bought the 1/48 tamiya Cromwell Mk IV and it is on its way to my house now, but i want to make a diorama, but i am not sure what to do. Any ideas?

I am have almost finished the 1/35 Tamiya Cromwell and I was going to put it in a diaroma with a British infantry patrol set. I am not sure if they do them in 1/48 scale but maybe other companies do. I was using the soldiers as I have seen some photos of tank/soldiers together and also a diaroma at a hobby show earlier this year depicting a Cromwell in the D-Day landings. I am going to another show this coming Sunday so I will see if I can get some photos for you and e-mail them. Also here is a tip when building the kit: On the front of the hull there are 2 hand rails on either side of the lights. Be careful when cutting from the sprue as they break easily. Lucky I had some spares from another kit (I assume that the 1/48 kit has them).

PBJ-1H,
Tamiya does a set of British soldiers in 1/48 along with German American and Russian soldiers. I haven’t seen anything on Japanese soldiers yet but I bet they will show up sometime. Alot of those sets also have tank crew with them so you might have all the figures you need.
