Does anyone knows who produces in 1/35 British tank crew figures? As far as I know Tamiya had the only kit in plastic so propably resin figures are the only solution.
The second question concerns figure which is added to Dragon's Firefly. Does the figure from the kit fit to July / August of 1944?

Gday Marcin
How about ahving a look at Ultracast figures? I have a set I have yet to use, and they have great detail... The crew I have would be ideal for the Firefly, but later in 1944? They are dressed for cold weather...

The figure in Dragon's Firefly 6182 is also wearing the cold weather suit. As far as I can think of, Tamiya's set is only one in plastic.

Ultracast, Resicast, Firestorm and Hornet all produce British tank crew figures.
Most of the pics I've seen show crews wearing Battledress or denim overalls in July and August. The crew figure in the Dragon firefly kit is wearing a pixie suit,so not really suitable for july/august.

Actually since you are hoping to get them, you might want to see the ones that Vinnie is already selling here on the Big A. Its for a widow who'se late husband had a stash which they are trying to convert back to pounds.
