Not sure if this is a painting issue or real bad molding of the faces.

It seems to be the eyes that are the problem to me. The lids look horribly over exaggerated.

Also the space between the nose and upper lip seem to exaggerated too.

Whoever they are I think they are brothers.
I have some 120mm figures from Studio 51 and they are fantastic. Not liking these much.

i use to be in the army cadets over 9 years ago and my detatchment commander great guy but dont annoy him lol was a tank crewman in the kings Royal Hussars. he said they never wore the berets like standard regiments, the cap badge was in the middle inline with the nose and the beret shaped and pulled back so the headphones fit over the top comfortabley and they could use visor equipment etc without obstruction, where as the models depict the beret in the traditional army dress code of the beret sloped to one side
would get in the way of equipment for british tank crews
there is something about there faces though lol maybe a depiction of crewman with the unlucky choice ration pack meals ha

We always had the badge over the left eye...the SSM would give us a right earbashing if we had it centrally, and it never got in the way of our headsets but then, its a very small badge in the 13/18H. Oh and those faces are terrible.
