Good evening Gentlemen,
I have recently completed Dragons M7 Priest (mid production) and would like to add some figures for my next dio. My problem is that I'm not quite sure what figures to use. The only thing I can find really, is MiniArt US tank crew #MIA35126. And that to me seems is more for an actual AFV, than a Priest. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers!

If I recall correctly, Verlinden make some - not sure how many. I wouldn't recommend using tank crew as the uniform would be incorrect.

Regards

Warriors makes two resin figure sets for the Priest. 35643 and 35644.

I haven't seen them on any website lately, but you might be able to find one on ebay.

WARRIORS has been out of business for years...

The MASTER BOX US Artillery Crew Set IS VERY NICE, but you're basically getting the Crew in Summer Uniforms, so the scope is limited to that time of year. If you want US Artillery Crewmen in Autumnal and/or Winter attire, then I suggest trying on ebay, as several vendors on that shopping site still carry new, old stock of WARRIORS and CUSTOM DIORAMICS US WWII resin figure kits. I think that resin figure manufacturers ROYAL and UM also make figure sets that may be able to help you out. If you can find them, HOBBY FAN also makes/made two different sets of US WWII Artillery Crewmen, intended to be used with AFV CLUB's 155mm "Long Tom" and 203mm/8-inch Howitzer kits...

I believe DRAGON at one time manufactured a separate US 105mm Howitzer Crew, Winter, 1944/45 (Battle of the Bulge) figure set. I'm sure you'd still be able to find US WWII Artillery Crew figure sets somewhere, possibly on ebay, once again...

GOOD LUCK to YOU!

Hello... those are old tamiya figures (from universal carrier and two naked soldiers from 25 pounder field gun) not from M7 academy kit...
