Could probably convert the left and right arms holding binocs to machine gun arms Jimmy.

True! Just would be easier if the option was included  :P

I didn't realise the GMC truck came with that option.... planning to get one at some point, moved up the priority list now, thanks!

To bad the figures on the GMC Deuce weren't a seperate sprue , those have the poses and arms your looking for . All you need is to swap GI helmet head  for tankers helme t head . Maybe someone has some they don't need ?

It would be nice to have a blister pack or two of some of the crew figures that come in the vehicle kits . I really don't need another bed frame  radio set for my half  tracks but could sure use the another set of the seated  figures that came with it . Of course , we might be seeing those figures or something similar in time from Rubicon , they mush have about a dozen blister  figure packs available already , what else have they got planned ???

Our SdKfz 251/1 can ACTUALLY FIT NINE full-size German soldiers in mid-war uniform inside despite it smaller compartment space compared to her larger scale model kits.

These figures are not simply seated side-by-side like some school kids on a field trip, but each with some type of interactions. We have split the group into 5 individual figures and a group of 4 so that you can place them in multiple vehicles if you wanted to.













Enjoy!

Well it looks like I can stop kit bashing figures now , you got it covered . Fantastic looking figures . Now the question is , pewter , resin or platic ? Cause if they're plastic I'm gonna get more than a few sets to convert

I agree - these are well posed.  And they are actual mid-war figures.  Will they be metal?

Probably metals like the US ones

 At last! Much like Ripley I've been waiting for some passengers figures that wouldn't require major surgery to fit properly :)

The 5 single guys are awesome  , the group of 4 are great looking figures , but I'ld trouble painting them  :-[ . Will they come as 2 sets 4/5 or set of 9 ? I wonder who I know I could get to paint them for me ?

I echo Ripley's comment on the painting of the group of figures.

We had this discussion at the LHS this past weekend , talking about all the great , awesomely detailed figures coming out  at this point in time  . The problem is most guys building and painting this  stuff are getting on in years , its getting hard to see all that detail with out my magnifing glasses , hell its even hard to read labels on the paint bottles in store racks . Old man rant over  ::) Really great figure though , and if they do come as a 9 pack I'll still get them , just might not get around to painting the 4some , mind you I have a bunch of figures I haven't got around to painting yet , some been in the stash 20 plus years  :-[

I agree - these are excellent looking figures.  I would also struggle to paint them this well, to be honest.  I won't get them anyway because they're metal (I bet the half-track has a satisfying weight to it with all of them inside!).
