Hi All,:-H

Normally I build 1/35 German AFV's but now I've decided to try my hand at a Sherman so I just picked up TASCA's Sherman M4A3 (76)W.

The Sherman build is to be set in the Ardennes so what I am looking for is crew that are in winter uniform.

Need at least the commander and radioman.

Any help in finding appropriately dressed crewman would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

George

I usually use an Ebay search

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=sherman+tank+crew&_osacat=220&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR2.TRC0.A0.Xus+tank+crew&_nkw=us+tank+crew&_sacat=220

You don't have to buy on Ebay,but it does give you an idea of what's out there.

MiniArt has a generic set of US tank crewmen in winter clothing that are very good. If you're looking for resin I would suggest Alpine as they are excellent figures at reasonable cost (for resin!).

As mentioned above Mini Art has set 35070, USTank Crew NW Europe. It consists of 5 figures all wearing winter gear, four with gloves and one with his hands in his jacket pockets.
