Question: would this set be suitable to go in a diorama with the new Landrover WMIK?

I know they won't sit in the vehicle, but would they look OK beside/around it? Maybe with one modified a bit to stand at the main weapon?

I’m looking for an answer to your question as well. I have this set and I just got the Hobbyboss kit. I believe theses figures are from the First Gulf War. Plenty of people viewing this tread hopefully someone will come back with an answer soon. I had considered getting the AA crew but there is always the risk that they will not fit, as is the case with Legends figures with the Bronco M114

Hi Paul,
I did get this reply by PM:

Hi Sean, theoretically you should be able to use these ok. The box art depicts them as wearing NBC/CBRN suits as used in the first Gulf War. The small dark green square patches on the sleeve and trouser leg's are for attaching chemical detector paper. If you want to portray them in regular uniform, just remove them with sanding/scalpel. Hope this helps.

Also, given my skill with figures the AA guys are a bit too pricy. If I thought I'd do a decent job on them I'd consider it, but I've only recently started trying to do figures following a recent campaign. Currently doing one of the Legend modern US figures and the ACU is driving me insane

Hope this helps
Sean
