Are there any WW2 Australian tank crew and/or infantry kits?
Thanks,
David
I have seen some aftermarket resin tank crews, but unfortunately the Aussies are SADLY underrepresented by mainstream model/figure companies. It would be great if Dragon or Tamiya would step up with some North Africa or South Pacific sets.
Try this site in the manufactures (sp?) for any Aussie stuff.

Firestorm models in particular.
I just love this picture that shows a Aussie chatging through the sands with a bayonet and wearing a cowboy hat titled “Aussies lead the way” And how they held of ROmmel at Tobruk for a couple of months. Its sad that their aren’t more kits. I can’t wait to build the AFV club Centurion MK.V in Aussie service.

Ultracast has a head set with felt bush hats to help convert figures.

yea i have seen australian vietnam figures on squadron when u do the search just type in 1/35th and under keyword type in vietnam and it will bring everything up for vietnam and they had some australian under there. I know they got a tank commander and a apc crew i dont know if u want nam era but that might help ya
The hats are called slouch hats, not cowboy hats.
Check out this company. They do a couple of WW2 tank crews.
Sorry bout that, won’t amke that mistake again. THnx for corrrecting me and for the link.

The North African and China/Burma/India theaters are largely neglected in general unfortunately, especially in the 1/6th figure realm. Other than Aircraft, the same goes for the Pacific theater.
