Tank released blurred images of their upcoming figures. Can you guess who the figures represent?

Assuming the pink panther icon on one of the photos was inserted by the manufacturer, I would say that these are SAS Pink Panther crew members (circa 1960s to late 1970s).

Was about to say Spetsnaz is Georgia, but the SAS guess looks more likely

Perfect timing, I'm about half finished my SAS Pink Panther. They should interact well with the AC Models crew. Of course now I'll have to build a second "Pinkie" for these guys to crew.

this tank-1/35 figure is good patner foe any tamiya 1/35 pink panther land rover(sas). or any "merc"-type diorama. he can hold a mag-58 gpmg or l7a2 in british military designation or m240b in american military designation.

These figures certainly are suitable for Dhofar and other similar areas. I hope that these are the first and that others will follow. I'm looking forward to seeing these for sale.
