Hi all.

What are the options for 1/35 modern Czech tank crew for a T-72M4CZ?

As far as I know, not any figure kit available on the market for this. Should I convert from Russian crew figures or something else?

Any suggestions?

Regards

Hi Cagkan

What do you call 'modern'? In general terms that could be anytime over the last 50 years. What era are you planning on?

A couple of years ago I had the opportunity to crawl over a Dana SPA in Prague and my wife took some pics for me - and captured this guy in the corner:





Maybe they will be of use to you to compare to figures?

The tank helmet used by the CR is the same Russian design used by many countries.

Hi, thanks but they are for an older era.

I updated my initial message about "which era" I am looking for.

Hi Peter, thanks for the images.

I am building a T-72M4CZ, so I am looking for present time tank crew figures.

Dear Brother,
I think you don't need much effort to convert them from Modern Russian tank crew. Head gear and uniform types are probably the same but camo pattern may differ for Czech tankers.
keep safe

Hi brother.

Yes, probably I will do as you wrote, I can easily convert them from modern Russian figure set, but I don't exactly sure about helmet details.
