Response to German WWI tank crew figures?
Is the only one I can think of.
The same company that did the 1/35 kit of the A7V many moons ago.
They also did a series of white metal WW1 figures in the early 90's.
Now I don't know if they are still around, the A7V seems to occasionally pop up from time to time but I haven't seen those figures for a while.
They did do a figure based on photos of the proposed tank crewman's leather suit and helmet, but as far as I'm aware, most AFV crews both A7V and Buetepanzer basically used the standard WW1 uniform without webbing but with gasmask and at least a side arm (most probably a Luger as it's more practical than a Kar 98 in the confines of a tank)
The Stahlhelm was worn often, as the crews were expected to be able to dismount if necessary and fight as infantry. So simply modifying any available WW1 German Infantryman or even a WW2 figure would be more than accurate. Hornet heads at least offer excellent replacements for the Stahlhelm
I am still baffled as to how they got upwards of 22 men inside an A7V let alone 18!
I have yet to hear of those leather suits being issued or used, but I am more than happy to be shown otherwise.
