Hi joe. Welcome. I have had a look for the British Bell tents in that scale (Found nothing) But cam across these Tepees. I think either way modifications will be needed.

Let me know if they will do.

hi joe.
Couldnt find anything in 1/72 scale , but only had a quick look. I think ebay is maybe your best bet.
Welcome to the forum hope you find it entertaining and rewarding .
cheers 90th.

Thanyou, They are very hard to get you hands on in that scale. Those tepees might work but you right some modification may be needed
Cheers, Joe

Hi Joe
Not exactly dioramas, but my office has an architectural practice that builds lots of models of developments to 1:100 or 1:50 scale.

Hi Joe,

My son picked up a set of tents at Carronade war game show last Saturday, They were made by a U.K. company named Renedra. You get two Bell tents, two small A frame tents and two Larger A frame tents. Each tent has a closed and open version. They are not on their website yet, but here is a Link

There is pictures of the on TMP though, here is the Link
