US Tank Crewman


An Elheim/TQD Castings figure purchased on-line from Battlescape. The set contained 5 relaxing WWII US Tankers in standing poses. I found that all of the figures were too short to be considered 1/72 scale and were awkwardly proportioned having legs that appeard to me to be too short. The figure above has been put through some surgery to have his legs lengthened by approximately 1 mm which is marginally annoying, but not a significant problem.

Given the difficulty in sourcing nicely sculped tank crewman in 1/72 scale in Australia I would have to say that the figures are good. It is a pity that Eureka Miniatures no longer manufacture the AB 1/76 scale figures under liscence.
