Hi all,

I remember that there was a company which produces Dutch crew for the Leopard 2, and I think some Infantry as well. Does anybody know which company this is, and where these items might be available?

Thanks

Henk

Sure Matt, for accuracy you would need some long haired, moustachioed crew... I was in in '89-'90, and yes, my hair was long. Dutch regulations were a bit 'peculiar'... Army goes home at 17.30 in the evening, barracks closed during the week-end...

our Compangie (131 RVC) was generally only put on barrack guard duty over the week-ends, as they didn't dare put us at the gate during the day... nothing annoys a senior officer more than a soldier slouched at the barrier, casually waving his car through without interest.

Ahh, those were the days..

The Dutch Leopard tank crew has been listed on the Coelian site as coming soon for about 3 - 4 years.....where is it?

I have ordered from them in the past and it was not very easy. I needed to send the money by wire transfer.....who does that anymore?....no credit cards or money orders or paypal payments.

It has stated on the site for 3 - 4 years that method of payment was temporary and that an on-line shop would be developed.....obviously not yet.

Some of the resin items I ordered were broken but I will thank Coelian for sending the items again....which were also broken the second time as well.

The resin items are nice...but it just seems so difficult to order them easily.

I've seen pictures of the guys in a concord book about Nato troops.
Its Very strange to us,when your own hair is no longer than grade 4!

Pornstar moustaches are the norm!?! Well for WW2 anyway!

All the best

Hi Henk

This is driving me nuts !! I'm sure in the last couple of days I've read about some Dutch Modern Tanker figures coming out. I remember, unless I'm going mad, a photograph of a Leopard turret with the figures positioned in it, shot from above looking down. Can I find it now, can I buggery !!

I've tried Terry's site, planetfigure, planetarmor, nothing. If I do find it I'll post a link. If anybody else knows it , post a link and put me out my misery.

Alan
