Sorry if I went off on a bit of a tangent lol. As I said the green uniform Jerries look much better than the dotted camo ones. If you are interested in the Americans then the three with wider legs look much better than the thin leg ones, just my opinion though. Be sure to post some pics when you get them on your tank, I think tank riders make the machine look more like the real thing!
Cheers,
Dave

Hi Dave

I enjoy reading and looking at the photos you guys post " you did no go tangent lol ".
When I go to Cardiff next, " thanks to your help ", I will buy two Germans for now with
the green uniform, thats if they have them.
Still waiting for my circuit board to see if it can be fixed?, hope to post photos then,
at the moment top of tank in house painted bottom part with my Nephew.

Cheers Gerwyn

Here is my 1/16 Tam Pershing, the crew are resin cast 1/16 figures from Tanks n' Trolls and the GI is 1/18 scale Dragon, I think.

Look pretty good together in my opinion :thumbup:

Nice pic sparks! Yeah thats a Dragon GI from the Italian front, I think they look much better than the Normandy ones they do. I've started getting them together with 21st c. American tank crew to go with my Sherman I hope to build soon. Tanks & trolls is a great site for inspiration!

Those crew figures look good and like the king tiger. Why can't I have a King Tiger? Is it a Tamiya? Are the crews prepainted. I got some Verlinden figures. The scale is all over the place. Some so noticibly different that they cannot be put side by side without looking silly. I also get some figures from a chinese source. Great detail, unpainted. They have nice US stuff also.

Sparks, The finish on that American tank is great and figures are great too. Is it just me or do these things look way better in Black and White?

Hi Johnf, and thanks for the comments,
The pershing has been weathered, and has natural dirt and mud splats on it from a run out just before that photo was taken, it was late evening and I think the lighting makes it look better than it actually is. Must admit, its my favorite photo of the tank :thumbup:
