Hi,

I'm looking for a 1/35th tank commander to stand or sit on the edge of the commanders hatch of a Ferdinand tank destroyer just before heading off to the Battle Of Kursk. The figure has to be a senior NCO, not an officer, and if he can be looking into the distance the more better. What I have in mind for the vehicle is that all the other crew have closed their hatches and he is taking a last pensive look at the battlefield before finally climbing into the hatch and buttoning it down. Don't mind if it's resin or injected figure. Anyone point me in the direction of a figure/company?

TIA,
Andy

Again I would recommend the seated figure from
German Tank Crew at Rest

Here he is in my Puma with a change of head



If you altered his left hand so that it was resting on the hatch it could look really good.
