1/48 scale figures would be 35mm tall, but we need to know what nationality and what type of vessel you're looking to crew.

what's the scale of your model war ships, because you need to know as to the scale of your figures.

Figures required are WWII Coastal Command to go on a Fairmile MTB Want 1 person for steering, One Officer, two deck hands handling ropes and one at the Machine gun - not sure of the scale but will post some pictures.

O gauge should be fine. This supplier offers a choice of scale and options. Copy the link and paste it into your browser.

you won't find that as you are looking in a niche market for what you are asking......you'll have to paint them yourself.

Try Adam at Mountfleet i know for a fact he bought out Adrian's figures and he can supply you with any size you need but obviously you will have to paint them yourself unless he can paint them for you worth asking

Oh, that should come in quite handy for the 1/48 Flower-class I'm building!

Shouldn't cost more than £200 each for someone else to paint.

Theres something weird about this. Firstly its not an mtb as described, it looks like a type b motor launch to me. Secondly the scale seems wrong,  guessing at the length of the model, somewhere around 50 plus inches / 1.5 meters it should be 1/24 scale nor 1/48. Thirdly the 3 cms figures asked for wouldnt be abke to see out of the bridge or fire the guns.
  It might be best if pat k checks his numbers and gets back to us.
 Or maybe I'm having a senior moment, if i am then my apologies.

Thanks for sharing the link, Chas. I have ordered a set which will come in handy for my 1/96th scale build.
