Harper Castings
Modeling the U.S. Army in WWII


Dave Harper started up Harper Castings before he joined ranks with VLS as one of their production honchos. Harper’s offerings (mostly figures and conversion sets for Stuart and Lee tanks) are somewhat irregular, but he seems to have an interest in Pacific theater subjects, having produced a number of Japanese figures. Consequently, his few 1/35 GIs are Marines. At one time it was announced Harper would produce a couple “Mail Call” figure sets; these were ultimately released under the Custom Dioramics label by VLS.

HRA1 U.S.M.C. Tank Crew (Three partial figures plus U.S.M.C. Sherman hatch)
HRA2 Mail Call Part #1 (released by Custom Dioramics)
HRA3 Mail Call Part #2 (released by Custom Dioramics)
