Hey all,

I came across this site via Kitmaker Benelux (even if you don't speak Dutch it's worth a visit - the Benelux lads have got some great stuff there ) http://tank.boy.jp/gallery.htm

Under the Britain link is the following infantry tank laden with British tank riders http://tank.boy.jp/churchill-s.htm



I'm guessing these are all conversions, but I'll gladly be proven wrong.

Anywho, for any manufacturer out there reading this post... I'd love some of these!

Hi Rudi,

Gordon at Cromwell may still have some of his tank riders. He had a set of 10.

Thanks for the links Rudi !!
Great to see the venerable old Tamiya Churchill in a diorama.
Resicast make a range of British Tank Riders for their Ram Kangaroo:

They're a good starting point but it would be nice to see someone do some Brits/Commonwealth "hitchhikers" in plastic.
Cheers
