Are they availalble in plastic? I recon not. With soooo much resin figures in the market, I don't know where to start finding them. Can anyone recommend a good resin tank crew to drive my M4A2 Tarawa?

TIA

Ralph, very little if anything is available. Basically it's a question of some heavy converting or looking thru the lists of Warriors (who do several) you could check out the (relaunched) Yanks range:

Alternatively, HardCorps Models do a complete USMC Tank Crew and a USMC Tank Commander (resin as well) Their website can be seen:

Hey Ralph,
Verlinden made a U.S. Marine Corps Tank Crew WW II set # 1882 a few years ago.
It consists of 2 half figures and 1 3/4 figure.
The 2 half figures are one guy in a white T-shirt with a tanker's helmet, one guy in fatigues with a brimmed utilities cap .
The 3/4 figure is wearing fatigues and helmet, holding a Thompson SMG.
I'm not sure if it's still available.
Hope that helps you.
Cheers.
