Can any suggest some suitable crew figures for the British Achillies Tank Destroyer in 1/35th?

Many thanks,

NIgel

Hi Nigel,

What do you want them doing?

Al

In a perfect world, manning (firing and loading) the gun but I doubt I'm going to get that.

Failing that, just something so that the tank doesn't look like it has been abandoned.

The only figures that I'm aware of at reasonable cost is the Miniart British Crew which are mostly casual (stand by or on the vehicle) poses.

I already have a box of them but since I have a Honey, Churchill and Achillies to man if I buy any more boxes I'm in danger of it looking like a clone army.

Cheers,

Nigel

There should be lots of possibilties if you kit mingle the 2 ETO tank crews ( winter and summer ) , the ETO tank riding infantry , the jeep and armoured car crews , Swap a couple of arms , change a tankers helmet to a berret., add a tea mug ...

Hi Nigel,

Friendship Models have a crew loading ammo that you might use, nice figuers. It is possible Bronco might do a crew for the kit, they seem to be doing some figuers for their guns AT Crew and I hear a Bofors Crew are pending so who knows there!

Resicast have a crew eating scoff so options there too.

If cost is an issue have a look at the Brock AT Crew,

If you can wait a bit, MiniArt is releasing a set of Brit tank crew in Pixie suits (#35121) and are appropriate to an open topped AFV from the fall of '44 to the end of the war. These figs are also in casual poses but at least no tea mugs!

Tamiya also has a British Tank crew, kit number 89618. It has three figures and a farmer pulling a cart.
