The Airfix "Zoo animals" set might do the trick, although the only contents which immediately fall into '1/4"' footprint size without modification that I can think of are the penguins!


Our European modellers group had a Swiss crocodile evening so I sprayed the Airfix crocodiles in green, brown and OBB orange and placed them in a Swiss livestock wagon for display. (received a mixed reception)

I've seen a plastic banana with little flapping wings, on an O-scale GWR layout. It came out during the last couple of hours of a major show (Harrogate?).
