Does all Tamiya AFV's in 1/35 scale have figs included?

If not, does these Tamiya kits have a fig included?

M1A1
M2A2
T-72

Thanks!

I found that the M1A1 versions both have two figures. The M2A2 doesn't have any and the T72 comes with one figure.

No figs for the Brad? Darn! Oh well, let's just say they're inside the armor. :-)

The new M2A2 ODS Bradley has two figures....I could have swore that the older M2A2 had a single TC....

The original M2 Bradley kit (the one with the interior) has a single fully four limbed commander figure

Happy modelling.

Ant beat me to the punch , i'm still working on the m2a2 and it has the old B C (bradley commander ) in the kit , but with a bit of mix-and match you can make a decent looking commander figure . I like to make my tank commanders to be based on my own experiences as a tanker , this is the B C for my m2a2 .

Out of the box you can build this model as a version used during Desert Storm 1991. Modifying it to variant used during the Operation Iraqi Freedom, that is to version M2A2ODS, doesn't make much sense. You would need new style tracks and a lot of scratch built parts to update the vehicle. It is easier to buy the new Tamiya M2A2ODS kit, that includes all these changes.
