I have that figure on order from Royal Model.

I should have been more precise in my original question. What I should have said was " Tank Instructors" rather than "Tank Crew"

Tamiya has a Russian tank crew set with a female figure that's really nice and adaptable to any era or country.

You can find some pretty nice ones here: http://aurora-model.jp/e-military.html Number 3 looks a bit like Kaley Cuoco!

You may want to look into Max Factory's modern Russian tank crew: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10362961

The set contains three women in uniform, two of which you could modify to get quite close to what you want to replicate.

diers in the making.
