Hi all,

I am new to modeling and trying to start my first dio. Where would I find GI tank riders and deuce and a half passengers?

Matt

I have seen that Hobby Lobby have a set from the Tamiya M3 halftrack kit. These are fairly old, but are WW2 Americans in relatively relaxed poses. depending on your comfort level, you might wasnt to replace their heads with resin (hornet, Jaguar) heads. Verlinden makes two set of tank riders, also WW2.

Hi Matthew,

If you look back on figure posts, I'm pretty sure Warrior have brought out some US Tank riders. They looked like nice figures: Here's the link to the original post;

and here's the link to pics of the figures:

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info.

I already knew about the Verlinden and Warriors riders though model mecca doesn't seem to have the new warriors models. Where could I find them? What is the web address for Hobby Lobby?

Thanks again
Matt

Here are some passengers from the Tamiya US Combat Group figure kit. It happens to be the same set included with the Tamiya M3A2 Halftrack mentioned by Jowady. Unless you really want to buy the whole halftrack to get the figures just get the figures separately. It's an older kit found often on eBay for little cost.

HobbyLobby is a chain of Brick and Mortar stores. They have a web address but I don't think they do any selling through them.
