1/48 scale modern military figures. Our local hobby shop finally closed its doors last year, and my supplies are so limited on local resources. Having to find these figures is still a huge challenge, as they were just as hard in the past.
Has anyone seen any 1/48 modern military figures? I have a great diorama in mind, and I mostly build in 1/48.

Have you tried the online stores such as LuckyModel, HobbyEasy, DragonUSAonline, Cyber-Hobby, etc?
They should all have a healthy stock of 1/48 scale figures...

I've looked around online at Megahobby, which I have shopped at before, but needed some other names. I will start with the ones that you mentioned. I have not been to those yet.
Thanks Rudi!

All great sites, thanks to both of you!
TONS of WWII era figures; however, my problem is modern military figures which seem to be non-existent. I will most likely have to grab a Ground Crew set and modify the heck out of them to get what I need for this diorama I have in mind.
These also gave me a ton of new ideas and paint schemes.
