Are there any good 35th Soviet tank crew figures out there I can use for a T-62 in Afghanistan?

Hi
You may want to take a look at what TANK and Masterclub have to offer. I'm only going by memory now but I think both have good resin examples in their range. Tank does a lot of WW2 figures but I'm sure they have some modern subjects to. I know Masterclub do but I'm not sure about tank crew specifically.
Hope it helps.

Alanger 1/35 Soviet Tank Crew 1979-1988 can be picked on Ebay for really cheap. I got one for $8 with shipping few weeks ago. Mold quality is not bad either.

Thanks guys. I picked up the Zvezda set for $12. They look pretty nice. I saw ICM ones on ebay (same as alanger?) but I couldn't seem to find any decent pics of the figures themselves. Tahk has two nice sets of Chechnya war tankers that I may pickup too. Figured the Zvezda kit was a good starting point. It has been a while since I painted a figure. I figure I can modify the one firing the gun to another pose since I had planned on using the Trumpeter T-62 1962,
