I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get Crew members for an American AAVP7A1? Thanks

Any modern armored crewman wearing CVC helmets and either PGST armor vest for pre OIF and IBA vests for OIF will work. Alpine has a couple sets, as does Verlinden and Warriors. Dragons older ODS Tank Crew set will work for training or non-combat poses as well and can have their torsos switched out for ones with body armor as well.

Warrior has released a OIF crew set (#35576) but as Gino says many other sets would fit the bill as well ...

dont forget that the guy in the TC position (hatch behind the driver, the "Troop Commander") should be in standard grunt uniform and is not part of the AAV crew. He is usualy the platoon leader or NCO grunt that is in charge of the grunts in the rear. He does wear a CVC at times, so just be sure to have the Kevlar close at hand. Ive also seen pictures of the AAV crew keeping a M4 outside the hatch to deal with close quarters infantry attacks against the AAV. Im sure somebody that was in OIF can shed more details on that subject and some more specfics for you.
