Hi Leon,
Any chance of a photo of the sailors BR125 and BR 130 crew and 20mm orlekon, need to see of there suitable for French Indochina.
Thanks,
Steve.
Hi Steve
I have BR130 and the crew (which I'm pretty sure are the same as BR125) are unarmed static ship's crew and dressed in British helmet, duffel coat and life preserver.
You could have a look at WW1 German East African Sailors ( http://www.pendraken.co.uk/GEA4-p4052/ (http://www.pendraken.co.uk/GEA4-p4052/) ) which make good generic naval landing party. Here's a pic of them painted for RCW by Natxo:-

There are French sailors available from the FPW range

French Fusiliers Marins in Indochina did not look very nautical:-

Thanks Grumpy Old Man,
I was hoping the navy crews would have been in shirts at least, not duffel coates and helmets. I wanted them for boat crews for indochina for a bit of cruising down the red river,guess i will have to have a rethink. Nice photo though.
Cheers,
Steve.
