Designed by Jason Young, theres enough to populate the a vehicle the size of a 1:35 scale Tiger 1 as can be seen in the illustration here of a set painted by Stuart Bell. They will of course fit on other tanks and by swapping bits around more than 10 men can travel on the vehicle of your choice. They have also been made avaliable as individual kits, and not as a complete set, so single figures or ones or twos can be purchased when and if required. However collectively it must be said they look impressive. For anyone interested the ten figure set is avaliable for £61, a saving of £8 on the single purcahse price.

Poses are very natural, and some are very relaxed, like the man who sits on the turret front, his legs astride the gun barrel,(G15). The figures are cast in a cream coloured resin and smaller parts are cast on to blocks and their careful removal is essential a fine photetched saw blade is ideal for this if you have one., but be careful with a a knife because tiny parts will break, or fly into orbit never to be seen again. Once claned up the figures assemble easily enough with super glue and a wipe of filler will be needed on some joins
