I served on tanks in the Army in the ‘80’s, these guys look good, but most times we wore MOPP suits or coveralls while in the field.

Another nice set. These should be very useful.

Generic US guys wearing field jackets. I've been calling for this specifically for years. You put on other heads with bone domes or even old crash helmets with boom mikes or steel pots with head phones and these guys could be for the whole postwar period 1946-1996.

Have you seen these figures yet? They are exactly what you are talking about with both bone domes and CVC helmets included.

Applauded them at the time they were released. So wonderfully generic now that there are two sets of crew for US Cold War armor. Now can we get them in shirt sleeves? Actually any US tanker in shirt sleeves (not BDUs or Vietnam) or how I was usually dressed; rain gear.

Generic modern U.S. tank crew figures in rain gear would be excellent.

I think almost every Canadian tank crewman in the 80's and 90's had an American rain jacket at one point or another.
