need 1/48 scale Luftwaffe figures and accessories

[uproar]

Hello--

I'm planning a small, modest diorama of a Luftwaffe airfield--I have a hardstand, an Fw190D-9, and will soon have the Verlinden Luftwaffe airfield carts. Who makes 1/48 scale jerry cans, oil drums, and other such accessories? How about Luftwaffe ground crews and pilots in 1/48? I know Tamiya and Dragon make plenty of stuff like that in 1/35 (mostly for armor scenes), but who makes 1/48? Resin is okay, but not necessary. Thanks! I know this probably belongs under "Dioramas" (and it is), but "Aircraft" gets more traffic.

Greetings, uproar. There are a few verlinden sets that
have what you're looking for. They are mostly resin, but
the detail is outstanding and there is a plethora of
accessories. Look to see if you can find these sets.......
#380 (luftwaffe airfield carts), #1367 (luftwaffe gun-
cleaning crew....drums and jerry cans included, along
with 2 figures), and #1132 (luftwaffe maintenance
corner...lots of neat accessories and photo-etched
tools). Hope this helps. Looking forward to seeing the
finished project.

uproar..........Tamiya's just starting or has started to release bunches of 48th scale armor and some accessories in plastic....although i've not seen anything that is aimed at supporting anything aviation, i'll bet some of the stuff can be modified to fit..........and Monogram did in a kit of allied / axis airfield support carts..........i've no clue if it's still available or oop
.....Verlinden does WW II resin allied and axis pilots.........maintenance figures in 48th according to their 2006 catalogue..........
