Greetings all,
With all the interest in the Char bis and following on from Jim's post about the new tank figure from Blast Models, which looks good, here's a link to some 1940's tank crew provided by Special East and available through Accurate Armour. The figures are by Jean Paul Robic.

Just in case you need a few other options.
Cheers

They are ok, but I prefer the Nemrod set. Great figures!

Hi Chris,
Can't comment on the quality as I haven't built them, just offering a little more choice for folks. These figures are not easy to find on AA, unless you search on each supplier and every product.
I don't recall having seen the Nemrod set I'll have to have a look, thanks for that.
Cheers

Bought them last year, they're a bit smaller than the Nemrod ones, which is fair enough given that people tend to be different sizes. The figure in the jersey (No 2) is probably the best of them (IMHO), and his uniform is accurate (honest!). The third figure is probably the least exciting, and also lacks the waist strap for the gasmask bag.

I just recieved a newsletter from my LHS. In july Warriors scale models will be releasing a set of WWII French tankers. "Two full figures and hatches" it says in the newsletter.
