Quoted TextQuoted TextQuoted Textwill dragon plan to release 1/34th israel tank crews for the hlaf track (and may be tank crews)?
I think you mean 1/35 IDF Tank Crews.
Well..good news ..MENG makes a couple sets, also Academy, Valkrie
Black Dog - check for more
Picture below is Blast Model IDF Crew
MIG- IDF Tank Commander
Verlinden
Black Dog
Theres more out there
Unfortunately none of these are good for the Halftrack, as these are all (but the Valkyrie offering) modern ('80's,'90's,'00's)tankers and infantry (Meng).
There aren't a whole lot of US Halftrack crews either so even finding suitable figures to even convert will be hard. We really need open topped vehicle crews that aren't German.
Hi Steve, and everyone else!
HEAR, HEAR!!!
We are in complete AGREEMENT as far as 1/35 "open-topped" vehicle crews are concerned, ESPECIALLY US/Allied WWII and more recent figures are concerned. There are a fair number of WWII German "open-topped" vehicle Crew Figures that are already available from MINIART, etc. I'd LOVE to see US WWII & Korean War Half-Track Crew Members, PLUS nice, "relaxed" candidly-posed sets of seated and standing Infantry GIs and Marines made available for the CCKW-series kits made by no less than FIVE different manufacturers, (HELLER, HOBBY BOSS, ITALERI, TAMIYA & TESTORS, not counting the now-defunct PEERLESS MAX), Russian Infantrymen for the US-made Lend-lease Russian Studebakers (ICM's), Tommies in both Tropical and Temperate Zone Uniforms for all of the British Vehicles, and various WWII German Combat Laendser for the various German Trucks, as well...
There are a veritable PLETHORA of dio possibilities that could be fulfilled, if we had appropriate Crew Members and "Passengers" for our various Soft-skins, Half-Tracks, APCs and Trucks...

The "beute" SU-76i is a tad off. There is photo evidence of the Germans capturing ONE of those SU-76i's and it did not have winterketten.
Of course, any one can say the Germans added the winterketten later. The PZ III cupola was a Russian mod; they did not have enough of them, so they used them only on command SU-76i's
