Does anyone know where I can get hold of a US jeep driver and passenger wearing cold weather clothing 1944-45 era ETO?

Any help would be most appreciated

Nemrod makes this set - although they are "truck drivers", they could do

MK35 editions has a couple designed for the Dodge, IIRC... But they do look good and may serve your purposes.

In the US WWII category, there are a couple of images to click on. They look to have some good specific stuff, like negro GIs and mine detectors...

Thanks Brad,

Got them through the post yesterday so I hope to have a closer look over the weekend to see if they're going to fit without undergoing a 24hr operation

Gday Des!
I'm glad you got yourself a set. Now I can pick your brains as to the quality of the figures! They so have some original looking stuff, and if the quality is there then I think they are a good buy mate.

Brad,

Firstly thanks for the info on where to pick up these figures.

I ended up buying 3 altogether. If you look on the MK35 website under the US figures there are 2 guys sitting inj the back of a captured German Horch, (at least it looks like one anyway) There is another figure of a US MP standing with a rifle slung over his shoulder and pointing with his left hand. Those are the 3 figures I ended up buying.

They are still in the packets but on first inspection they look very good. Separate hands, arms etc and the detail looks impressive.

The VLS Warriors figures are good quality too. I have a couple of the late war US infantry, one with a BAR the other with a Garand slung over his shoulder.

Thanks again Brad

Des
