These look to be superlative figures. I wish someone would do very early war figures, where the crewmen are wearing the so-called "doughnut" helmet. If anyone knows of any being produced in 1/35, I would appreciate a heads up!

Amazing stuff! I really like this set.
One thing I would love to see is more late war US tank crews in M1943 uniforms (e.g. jacket with hood, or hood worn under helmet). In the last months of the war more new armored divisions arrived in the ETO, their crews were equipped with the new M1943 uniforms and buckle boots. However, almost all US tank crew figures available in 1/35 are wearing the winter combat jacket and often the winter shoe packs. This makes them not very suitable for the March-April-May 1945 timeframe.

I certainly respect Alpine's work !! But every time the same figures) .. When will the figures be in action? and not stand like statues and look like they are not happy with something)))
