Trumpeter modern US Army figures
Posted by navy07 on Saturday, October 23, 2010 1:06 PM

I am working on a diorama using an M2A2 with figures from Trumpeter Modern US Army armor crewment and infantry #00424 and US Army in Iraq (2005) # 00418.  As hard as I stare, I cannot see how all the equipment is attached to the soldiers, especially #00424.  Also, #00424 comes with sheets of camo decals, which I have never seen or used before.  Are there any reference materials which shows how to work these kits?  I tried to see if there was a review in FSM, but no luck.  Any help will be appreciated.  Lenny

All the gear that comes with the Armor Crewmen and Infantry set are not intended to be used on them.  There are extra pieces of equipment that allow you to customize how they look.  You can add as little or as much as you want.  As far as the decal camo, you just have to cut out pieces to cover the figures.  Paint them a sand color first, then cover away.  Go slow and use a setting solution to help them conform to the figures and you should be good.
