Hi, mine came with crew.
1:72 British sailors are a problem. Probably the nearest you will get will be German which will have to be adapted.
You can try Ontracks they have loads of figures you could adapt.

Hi
Sorry its a bit late but i visited my local model railway shop Trains4u.com in Peterborough today to get some railmatch enamels, which are great just like enamel of old, still contain lead. Looking around for figures for my 1/72 model slipway steam trawler i am struggling to build.
I think oo/ho is as near to 1/72 as you can get, they had some excellent royal navy personnell well painted and detailed about 5 different posses for £3.50 the manufacturers where Model Scene . Hope this might be of help Dave
