WW2 British Tank Crew Set

Manufacturer: Alpine Miniatures
Item Code: 35048, 35049, 35050
Scale: 1/35
Material: Resin
Sculptor: Taesung Harmms
Review Publication Date: June 2nd 2007

The RAC’s “Oversuit, Tank Crews”, or “Pixie suit”, is perhaps one of the British Army’s most distinctive items of clothing. This recent release by Alpine Miniatures is an excellent example of not only how this garment was worn, but the bulkiness of it.

35050 – “WW2 British Tank Crew Set” is set of two 1/35th scale resin figures sculpted by Taesung Harmms, the owner of Alpine Miniatures. The two members of the Royal Armoured Corps (RAC) are portrayed in a fairly casual stance – the first stands upright, while the other leans against an unseen object. Released in April 2007, the box-art is painted by Samuel Perez Sanchez.

Both figures are also available individually as figures 35048 WW2 British Tank Crew #1 and 35049 WW2 British Tank Crew #2.
