US Tank Crew Figures in action poses ?

Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, April 20, 2004 5:23 PM

HI all,

Does anyone know of any US Tank Crew figures which are molded in action poses. Specifically I'm looking for a figure at the .50cal, firing at the enemy....

Warriors is coming out with a set of 4 Abrams (is modern what you are wanting?) resin figures, but they aren't firing the .50 cal. They might have other fiures available but this is all I could find.

The only one I can think of is Tamiya's U.S. Gun and mortar team. In that set there is a figure firing a anti-aircraft .50cal but I have used him on the back of tanks before with very minor changes to his arms.

Trevor Where am I going and why am I in this handbasket?

I don't know if this is what you want, but this is where I get all my 1/35 figures and accessories! I didn't see any .50 cal guys, but quick mods could fix that real easy.

Hope this helps.

Grab a razor saw , and some modeling putty , and make em' do what you want them to ! Just cut at angles at the natural joints take the piece you cut out and put it at the appropriate side as a filler , its not as scary as one would think , heck I do it all the time and I am an amatuer ! Wink [;)]

One of the limited edition issues of the AFV Club M88A1 Recovery Vehicle came with a tank commander figure dressed in modern BDUs, CVC helmet and is posed manning the .50 cal. It is a resin figure and is fairly nice.

I don't have the link to their website, but you might try these two sites:

www.modelmecca.com

www.verlinden-productions.com

Yeah I'll give you my two cents on the subject: All the companies need to come out with more Allied figs I mean you can get German figs from just about any front, division battle, tanks crews, germans riding bikes etc, but you can only get American figs in your "green army men poses"

just my My 2 cents [2c]
