You mention an M32 in your request for instructions of figure assembly.  Is this M32 a tank recovery vehicle and if so what is the manufacturers name .  I've been looking for this kit and can't find one.

Yes indeedey, it is the recovery vehicle, and as others have pointed out, its the Italeri offering. They usually come up here and there on e-Bay. However, Italeri is reissuing the kit this year (or they allready have) so your LHS may get them. Check Squadron and Greatmodels as well.

well it was actually a piece of cake to drill out the hands since all I had to drill was a couple small holes and use a knife to clean up and the gun slid in nicely. same with the figure holding the microphone

M32 is made by Italeri, there are a couple on eBay now.

I have the kit, but have only built the figure holding the .45.  I simply trimmed off part of the .45 to make the figure "hold" the weapon.  Ignore the gloss on the figure pic.  It's been corrected since this pic was taken.

Semper Fi,

Italeri is the only one I'm aware of.

Thank you very kindly, for the scans and for the advice. The figures look great, can't wait to have them in the dio.

THanks a million.

Here you go.

I think I might have them lying around, but do you really need them? Assembly is pretty straight forward. The pictures on the front and back show pretty much how they go together. The most complicated part is the tanker helmets, which have the ear flaps and the part that protects the back of the neck. But those parts really only fit one way, so a little test fitting should be all that's necessary.

I just found the box and it occurred to me that there may not actually be instructions for that kit. You'll notice that the part numbers are shown on the back of the box, next to the corresponding parts, making the pics on the back effectively your instruction sheet.

 Sorry, I missed the crucial detail in your post that the figures came with another model. I'll scan the back of the box and post it for you.
