Hi All,

Does any body know if anybody make any modern Dutch figures?

Specifically I am after a crewman for a YPR765 Pri suitable for Afghanistan around 2006-ish.

Any ideas?

Paul

P.s. I did spot the Typo, damn keyboard!

The only one I knew of was from Coelian models (https://armorama.kitmaker.net/news/855). But it appears to be gone now.

Found a link to this on the Twenot.nl forums but it's not quite what you are looking for:

And there is Hobby Fan HF 558 but it's a strange pose:

G'day Paul,
Your best bet would be to use any modern US AFV crew figure wearing the Gentex CVC (not too sure now days on the name???). Visually, they all look pretty much the same.
There are a lot of options here. Alpine, Legends, Verlinden, Hornet, Ant, Master Club, Black Dog, Arms Corps Models and the list goes on.
The only other thing you would need to change is the body armor slightly.

Dutch YPR

Cheers Jason

Jason Cheers for that info that was sort of what I was thinking, the helmets look a little smoother to.

This is the one I will be replicating, that one from over on Wiki is the newer u-armoured version. A pic I saw over on military photos.net for discussion purporses only.
