Hey everyone,

Check out the Ultracast website, they have 3 new figure sets and a new set of heads coming out anytime soon.

Go to http://www.ultracast.ca/ and you'll see the following:

Set # 35043 is a 3 figure set of British/Commonwealth Tank Crew Italy/NW Europe 1944, 1 full and 2 half figures in shirt sleeves (w/ head set #35044) - $29.95 Cdn.

Set # 35044 is a set of 5 British Tank Crew heads, 4 wearing berets(2 with headphones) and 1 wearing the British AFV helmet - $12.95 Cdn.

Set # 35045 is a Canadian/British Tank Commander Europe/Italy/North Africa (in Battledress) - $17.95 Cdn.

And set # 35046 is another Canadian/British Tank Commander Europe/Italy/North Africa (also in Battledress) - $17.95 Cdn.

Perfect for all those new Shermans out there.

My wallet is already aching :-) !!

Cheers

Kevin and the highly skilled staff at Ultracast do fantastic work, great figures at very competitive prices. On the odd model I do use figures on, I use Ultracast, I find these figs tend to paint themselves.

Some well-captured casual turret poses there!
But bugger me if that isn't Basil Fawlty on the right... :-)
I have a set of British crew, and the detail is exquisite!
They will accompany an unfinished Cromwell just aching to be well, finished, for some future diorama project...

Just imagine if they did.... creepy. LOL

On a serious note, the Basil Fawlty character would look equally good sitting in one of the new armoured cars that have hit the market.

Cheers for sharing, my order is in the to do pile.

Excellent quality figures, thanks for the link John. The set of heads is amazing, with excellent facial expressions. I'm thinking I need to get a british tank done sometime soon........................

Hey Jim,
Sorry, don't know why I said the figure set was in shirt sleeves.
I getting old and my arms aren't long enough to get proper focus on things. LOL
Somehow I missed the fact that the 3 figures are in denim Summer coveralls.
Good save!!
Cheers
