I'm thinking about adding a crewman to the Takom M9 I've just ordered: the only clear picture I have been able to find is of a chap wearing what appears to be a Parker type jacket.

On operations, would the vehicle's operator normally wear an ACU and MICH helmet or AFV crew coveralls and helmet?

Many thanks

I found a picture of a M9 driver in ACUs with a tanker's helmet. I had some left over figures from a Trumpeter Stryker that fits the bill.

My photos showing the soldiers wearing Woodland BDU(from the 1990´s) and CVC helmet.
Here some pics of M9 ACE in action from DVIDS site.

You can use any modern tanker figure to be an M9 crewman. They wear the same gear. Usually they will have a NOMEX CVC (Combat Vehicle Crewman) jumpsuit, DCU/BDU, or the more modern NOMEX two-piece ACU uniform. Their headgear will be a CVC helmet, not normally a Kevlar or Mitch helmet.
