Hi all, I want to present a gift to my father in law, whose father served with the USMC at Iwo Jima. I have an Academy kit, USMC Sherman (I know it is an M4A2 and it is supposed to be an M4A3, but he doesn't know and the inaccuracy doesn't bother me enough to get another kit), so I was wondering if there was a set of figures out there that could be used as the tank crew (I found some from Dragon but they are marked NW Europe). They can be injected or resin, no preference.
Thanks in advance!

I believe Warriors makes quite a few various sets that you might want to check out. I'd start here: www.squadron.com If that doesn't work I want to say Verlinden makes a set as well. Try www.greatmodels.com as well.

How about these? They're probably the figs Matt had in mind.
