Gamera,
Necro thread!!!
Five years later after the last post, Trumpeter releases a dedicated tank crew set. No more trying to modify the goose-stepping ladies from the Bronco "Goose-Stepping Ladies" set into tankers!

The good news is you can build SIX figures from the box. The bad news is that the tooling is kind of like a 1970s Tamiya kit. The six bodies are all identical, so the saluting guy option looks odd, since his shoulder is not rotated up. The tanker helmets have poor earphone definition, so looks like M. Brindo's tips on detailing older figures is timely. Two machine guns are included, as well as two sheets of camouflage print decals and one set of uniform insignia. That last bit is often overlooked by kit makers, so they are definitely welcome.

Until better plastic or resin PLA tankers appear, these will have to do.
