Does anyone know if there is a manufacturer out there who makes 1/35 resin Soviet tank crew heads with helmets. I have several Mini Art kits but I just think the Tanker helmets look too big and clunky. I've looked around and the closest thing I can find is the Modern African tank crew. Thanks in advance for your help.

I believe TaNK Miniatures does Soviet tanker heads. Colorado Miniatures carries TaNK figures. They are very nicely molded, and have good detail. The tanker helmets on the figures I have from them look pretty good.

Thanks for the link Exer...Tank, Hornet, and Legend are my favorite manufacturers.
I wish Alpine would release some resin headsets. Thanks again.
