Hello all. I'm looking for a figure set for my Academy M4A3 Sherman 105 with dozer blade. The kit is based on a Korean War unit. Could I use late WW2 figures or are the uniforms different. Any ideas will help, thanks

There should be no problem with using Late WWII gear for Korean War anything...
Very little gear and uniforms were specifically designed for and during the Korean War...almost everything was surplus WWII stock or new manufacture off of WWII patterns. The big exception is post 1950 cold weather gear...
Even the food was left over from WWII...my father remembers being given his Thanksgiving Dinner on outpost in North Korea in 1950 (before the Chinese attacked) and the K-Ration boxes were marked "Merry Christmas, 1944."
