This
is nice set to populate just about any U.S. AFV. In fact, if you
swap out the heads, you could use these figures with artillery pieces
or as regular infantry if you don't want soldiers with web gear.
The combat jacket worn by all four men was more commonly seen on
armored troops, but it was prized by infantry who could get their
hands on it.
The
driver figure (who could probably be positioned as a gunner in the
turret of an M10 or M18), wears the winter combat trousers under
his jacket, as does the commander figure, who has a .45 slung from
his belt. The other two figures are posed for handling ammo, but
the one crouching could likely be used in other situations.
The
figures are well sculpted, and with the exception of some casting
seams along the insides of the legs, there is little cleanup necessary.
The figures do share a sameness in their facial shapes and expressions,
so you might want to replace a head or two for variety's sake. The
slim ammo round does not seem to have the distinctive taper and
shoulder seen on the M62A1 that was used in the M10. Instead, it
looks more like the M42A1 76mm Sherman round. So depending on what
vehicle this crew crews, you'll need to take that into account.
