US Tank Crew w/Supplies
Gaso.Line Kit #50333
1:48 Scale
Review by Terry Ashley

This set has two US Tank Crew figures wearing typical tankers uniforms of HBT suit with one wearing the tankers leather helmet and winter combat jacket with the other a steel helmet while both wear leggings which were uncommon for armoured troops if worn at all and also lack the laces. Also included are four resin tank rounds and two brass empty shell casings to use in a diorama setting.

Cast in light grey resin the figures only have the usual casting blocks to be removed as well as a minor casting seam down one side and have the full body in one piece with just the arms separate as well as the ammo rounds.

The uniform and facial features are very detailed for this scale and include well defined details such as belts, pockets and fabric folds as well as rank insignia on the arms.

Assembly was straightforward without any problems with the arms having large pins that fit into corresponding holes in the shoulders for a good fit and the shells sat naturally in the hands without any adjustments needed.

A nice set of figures in this smaller scale that will add greatly to available kits.

Recommended for 1:48 vehicle fans.
