Does anyone know if there is a manufacturer that offers modern US tank crew? I've found modern 1/72 US infantry but not any vehicle crews.

This would be for a 2003 OIF diorama.

Thanks.

I guess Preiser should have some. Their web site is currently down though. Google "Preiser" and you should be able to find what you are looking for.


Small pic, but 16 figures in the set

Goffy Models also does a whole line of modern 1/72 gear, accessories and figures.

I have both Priesers and Goffy's US tank crew figures and prefer Goffys figures. The advantage to Preisers is that you get 18 figures in the box and Goffy only provides three but, I find the detail for Goffy's to be better. I just use the extra arms and heads for other figure conversions

Do the 3 figures in the Goffy Models set come with extra arms and heads then?

Thanks,

I did a review of the Prieser Modern Tankers here:

Preiser Modern US Tankers

I paid $9.00 for the set and I think are well worth it. Take a look.

the figures come w/the heads attached but, can be easily removed. one figure has one set of seperate hands as is wearing the Nomex gloves and another figure has seperate arms.
