Review Publication Date: September 7th 2007

The one piece coverall was part of the Army clothing inventory throughout the war. Initially issued only to mechanics and armor crews, the comfortable and economical garment was later used by truck drivers, signal corps linemen, and also for general infantry use, especially the jungle version for troops in the Pacific.

There were two main types issued to the Army prior to and through World War II: “Suit, Working, One Piece, HBT 1938”; and “Suit, One Piece, HBT OD Special 1943”.

Alpine Miniatures’ 35053 WW2 US Tank Crew Set, a 1/35 scale resin figure set sculpted by Taesung Harmms and box-art by Artur Miniszewski, masterfully displays both the coverall types as worn by a pair of members of the US Armored Forces. Both figures are also available individually as figures 35051 WW2 US Tank Crew #1 and 35052 WW2 US Tank Crew #2.
