I found these on MMZONE:

Considering this guy has sculpted an number of other things for Legends, and these guys appear to be made for the 1151 it seems as though these might be a future release from Legends. Lets just hope so cos they look stunning!

It's a different style of uniform and I like how the figure and details don't appear flat. These figures almost look like they have personality and care put into making them.

Very nice driver figure. The up-gunner is okay, but I'd prefer one sitting on the turret lip or at least in the strap.
By the way, what's with the MRE spoon in the driver's vest? That's what I call being prepared.

I agree that a figure half sat on the turret strap would be cool, but the standing figure is still very useful! Im missed the spoon Rob, thats a nice little detail! The sculptor has added some more pics in the album.

He also appears ready in case of a "parking" emergency.

I actually knew a dude in Afghanistan who always carried a spoon with him. I wish I could remember the reason, but I know it wasn't to eat. They make good insulators, and have uses I won't ruffle feathers by mentioning here.
I'm thinking I need TWO sets of these figures. One for the driver as is, and the other using the driver's body and arms from the up-gunner. They can be made to look different enough, especially with the driver mostly hidden and having three choices for the heads.

Something like this would work:

Robert
What are the red tipped anodized thingies for attached to your ammo/spares bin? I assume that other thingie with the cable is a Sure Fire?

Bill, those are pen flares. They're reloadable, but I like to have at least two or three at the ready. And yes, the cable is for the Hellfighter. If you're modeling it in that excellent turret you scratched, it leads from the to batteries (BA-5590s) and splits off - one part going to the gun, the other going to a switch on the spade grip.

Usually a few quick flashes of the Hellfighter pulled cars over quickly. If not, I fired a flare in their direction. If that failed to work it was time for the gun. A few well placed rounds in the asphalt next to them always did gthe trick. Of course, when you're approaching each other at around 130 mph, there's not a lot of time to fool around.
