Can i use this tankcrew in a Marder 1A5 in Afghanistan , black dog german army tank crew. http://www.blackdog.cz/products/fig/f35044/1.jpg
Or do the tank crew have different clothes then the APC crew?
Or does anyone know other figures to use?
I will build the Revell kit with perfect scale barracuda conversion!
Or can i also use these german Bundeswehr tank crew from real models?

Some more questions, is it possible to buy the kit with the Milan-2 on the weapon turret? If so is it the same as accurate armour sells as i assume it looks much nicer then the Revell kit Milan? http://www.accurate-armour.com/ShowProduct.cfm?manufacturer=0&category=4&subcategory=104&product=1770

About decals? Is it possible to have the Isaf sign and the German flag with arabic sign on the troop cargo door? As i will not have the barracuda net on that door as i also have the update set from perfect scale models.

I have tried and search on google but i have not found any photo with that decals there...

The air condition unit, http://www.perfect-scale.de/Umbau--und-Zuruestsaetze-1---35/Marder-1A5A1-Raum-Klima-Geraet.html
What colour are that one painted in as i will not use the one that are covered with barracuda net? I will paint the rest of the Marder that is not covered with barracuda net in German desert colours.
So can i paint that one in that colour too, or green?

Alot of questions i hope someone can answer on

Should have been if it's possible to use the kit with the Milan-2 ...

I've never seen that markings on the rear door, not even in Marder's without the barracuda net.
I'm not saying it was never used but I did not see it in any of the pics I've found so far..

For the air conditioner unit, take a look here:

Just my 2 cents

Hi Roger,
I say go for the Blackdog crew, the Real Model ones use the old flak vest that was not used by Marder 1A5 crews in AFG. The MILAN from AA is a good replacement, the RoG MILAN is on the low side.
Cheers

I've never seen pics of the Milan mounted on Marders in A-stan. Did they use them there?
