I can't find many kits of morden German tankers. Those I did found were all very new ones - post 2k ones. Any help?

Are there ane head sets?

Hi Kenneth,

what period do you look for? Early years? 1970 to 2000? Modern tanker for today?
Djiti`s Production has some modern tankers for current AFG theater.
Dolp Modellbau has a broad range of Bundeswehr figures.
Elite Modellbau also does some Bundeswehr figures.

Cheers
Hans-Hermann

You want modern figures but not too modern? Can you narrow it down to a time period or type of vehicle?

Is this for your Series 0 or 1A5 build?

For the Leopard Series 0 I would go with the old Verlinden NATO tank crew set.

For the Leopard 1A5 you should look at a set with the Bundeswehr tanker helmets. The Berliner Zinnfiguren link with the Dolp figures that Frenchy posted should fit your needs....figures and figure head sets. You might have to combine some sets to get the look you want.

They are not only for my Series 0 and the A5 i am bulding now. I plan to make 7 Bundeswher Leopards; the above, an early A1, a A2A2, a A3A3, a A4 and the prototype A(2). So I pretty much need figures to cover early 60ties to early 2k's. There are therefore some good ideas in the suggestions so fare ( like two headsets). The Verlinden set I fear is long gone, I've checked eBay for months.

I just searched eBay...there are two listings right now....one is a U.S. located private seller and the other is Verlinden's U.S. eBay site (10+ available).
