Im either very observant, or Im goin out of my mind, but take a look at this picture 9or the model if you have it) and tell me that the guy sitting atop the turret doesnt look exactly like John Lennon.

OK. The guy doesn't look exactly like John Lennon. :-)

Hihi,thats a classic..maybe Ron Volstad was listening to a Beatles track whilst drawing the art work..power to the fallschirmjager,power to the fallschirmjager right on.. :-) !
Check this guy out,i finally found out what Elvis is up to these days:


cheers,Shay

I'm glad you noticed that. I actually thought I was losing my mind when I bought them years ago and saw John Lennon sitting on a Panzer! I put it down to paint fumes at the time but it is John Lennon!

Nah can't be, he's not wearing glasses! Seriously though, when I worked for Chas Stadden Studios, I was told that all the figures he sculpted had the faces based on actual people - one of them was his son! So not that unlikely - a face based on an actual human face should be more lifelike & animated.

So the mop top look actually came about from the cut of the fallschirmjager helmet?

Yes he is!! You might not be able to see it via the picture above, but I assure you, he is wearing John Lennon type spectacles! I swear, if you can actually find the model in your local hobby store, look at it, I swear it John Lennon!
