Hey all,
Anyone out there have an ETO Winter 1944 BAR gunner from Warriors they'd be willing to part with? I need one for the diorama I'm working on and I can't find it available anywhere.
It's the closest I can find to what I need, but I'm really looking for a BAR gunner firing. Anyone know of a figure out there?
Thanks!
Jon

Tamiya has a fun kit to put together. It has several figures but one of them is a BAR gunner. Not firing, but a BAR gunner.

After searching a bit, I wasn't really able to find much either. You might be able to customize an existing figure and swap out a rifle for a BAR maybe?

It pops out on eBay from time to time... other than that I don't really know where to look, IIRC the figure is OOP for quite some time.

Dragon has an older set, #DRA6163, of Ardennes troops. Three in Melton coats and one in M1943 uniform. One is kneeling firing and one is standing firing. A third could be standing firing from the hip. And the fourth is standing, looking. A BAR is included on the weapons sprue. As I said, the figures are a bit old, but with replacement heads and G2 equipment are very acceptable. The BAR could be fired from the shoulder if the guy was strong enough. This set should still be available as it's still listed in Dragon's catalog.
