After you make the investment for the figure, you do have to make a further investment in proper paints for uniform. Ever see a sailor on modern flight deck? In addition to the grape shirt, the sailor maybe wearing a utility vest (another color), helmet ( another color) and pants (another color). Nah not worth the delicate painting effort or money for something a model admirer has to nearly stick their face into your model to see.
Again using a modern flight deck as an example there is many sailors working the flight deck. A great deal of intricate labor best spent elsewhere on a kit. Money saved goes into 3D printed flight deck accessories like Tilly, tugs, forklifts, aircraft and helos. These items will catch the human eye.
In larger scales I would say yes but in 1/700 no.
Question: I’m asking your opinion on if you prefer modeling your ships with a crew or no crew?!?
