The "Hoodie" guy would make a great civilian with a new aftermarket resin head...

I don't know about that squatting guy, though. He looks like he's getting ready to take a dump.

Well the boxart is indeed good at any rate, as it always is with Miniart's resident artist but will the figures match the illustration....
No images that I could see of made up figures yet.
Whilst the figures from Miniart are very good and improved considerably since I first saw them over ten years ago they still don't match the box artwork in finesse.

I too have found a gap between their illustrations and the figures themselves; but as you say, they are improving. I for one am just overjoyed/amazed to see styrene Arabs and will probably get 2 boxes.

Could these be used for Egyptian tank crew, uniform wise.

Looking at the sprues for these figures they would appear to match the images. I accept that this is not an exact way of telling but I feel at this point they are a good match.
