I am not a fan of CMK figures but this one looks great to me.

Cheers,

What do you mean exactly?

You say it's a copy or it's heavily inspired?

Please post a pic of the Alpine figure you're thinking about.

Cheers,

Christophe

He looks quite sharp. Never really thought much of CMK figures either but this one is quite nice.

Not a copy at all! Just looks like it's from the same sculptor. Very similar style.

Ah OK. I was wondering what you meant with that "rolling eyes" smilie.

They've just released another Hetzer crew figure, not bad either...

Looks like coveralls? Hard to tell from just the one pic.

I'm not an expert on German uniforms, but this looks like motorcyclist coveralls?

It doesn't look like a German uniform at all to me-maybe postwar?
