No matter how many AFVs get released (of whatever nationality) there always seems to be a shortage of good, imaginative crewmen. Now, help is at hand with TWO New sets from MiniArt which go a long way in helping resolve the problem. Also, as a bonus - another Diorama Accesory Set... The Full Trport and images of all these In-Progres sets, can be seen:

Thanks!

Great The AFV crews will certainly sell well I think. I'd but an Italian Tank just to use that crew

Will definitely be picking this set up, thanks for sharing Jim!
The 35550 set and Italian crew look very tempting as well...

Man,
The hits just keep on comin'....... Both crew sets really do look good, but I know dio builders will love the other set

Now Miniart how about some Hungarians, Poles or Finns in the mix????

Chris

Excellent.

The US Tank crew looks really really good! I think it's the best styrene one I've seen so far. When it becomes available at online stores, someone please notify.

All three sets are very useful, but the two tank crews are already on my ever growing list of things to look out for...

Cheers!

More welcome releases from an imaginative manufacturer. Will we see this this year Jim as they were previewed many months ago?
The Dio stuff is great and I'm sure will be very well recieved.
Well done Minart - now you can do a US Arty crew or crews......
Cheers

And you can actually use all 5 American figures in the same vignette.

Maybe I missed it but has a release date been announced for any of these? I recall the US Tank Crew was originally announced some time last summer (or earlier) but at that time, only the artwork was shown. Now they've at least shown the pre-production models, but when the heck are they going to hit the shelves?

They look really good, I just wish they used more in hatch poses. Crews belong in their tanks not standing around them. They can be used for display with out the need for a diorama. I'm just say in.

I'm still going to get them and modify them into in hatch positions. We can rebuild them.

A lot of us have been waiting for figures like these for a long time now. Lets hope they produce enough of them and that they appear as in stock and also on the shelves of local hobby shops. Continuously being shown as available, just doesn't cut it....................................Al

not much of a figure man, but YES!!! they look very nice and I want to get one for a sherman I have stashed shame though that only one figure is posed on a hatch (that's what the art shows, anyway)

I think that any of them can stand in a hatch.Draw a hatch around them and see what I mean. Need not rely on the box art to limit what you do with them...... ......................Al
