Need German infantry riders...
Posted by zokissima on Thursday, October 28, 2004 9:58 AM
HI
I was wondering if there were any kits out there of German infantry riding on a tank? I was looking through a plethora of Dragon figure kits yesterday, and the closet they have is a couple of grunts having a smoke, but standing. I need some figs that are specifically seated in various positions on a tank.
Thanks for any help.

Dragon a 2 parter with Fallschirmjager's. One kit is them sitting and the other is them standing. I have them for my upcoming Bulge build. They are in winter gear. I can get you the kit number tonight. Carter and Crowly just released a set of riders too. I saw that at Squadron- they are in summer gear

Dragon makes a set of four panzer riders with various weapons geared up for the Ardennes. I tossed the box a while back to make room, so I don't have the kit number but they have pretty good poses.
