I'm looking to get some decent crew figures for the Warrior MCV. Accurate Armour do some, but I'm looking for a crew in cold weather gear, ideally with infantry helmets. The Accurate Armour ones with the helmets look a bit off, helmets a tad too big and too high on the head, and the nice set in 'cold gear' with scarfs etc are wearing the standard AFV helmets, whereas the photo's I'm working with show all crews in Bosnia to be wearing Infantry helmets....

I've had a look around but have drawn a blank with the usual suspects ( Warriors, Resicast, Alpine..). I hope that tapping into the fond off wisdom that is the members here that I can unearth some more suggestions.

Thanks for your time

If you want accurate figures you are a little limited for options.

The only accurate figures are either accurate armour, or blast models new set.

The blast models set is great, but wouldnt be suitable for winter use.

Steer clear of the warriors bosnia crew set, it is totally inaccurate in uniforms, and the crew have webbing pouches(again wildly inaccurate) which would not be worn by the turret crew.

My recomendations would be to get one of the accurate armour sets and add balaclavas to the faces.

The issue head-over is pretty thin with one main hole in the front. it would be very simple to add to an existing head

Cheers Joe,

Accurate armour it is then, I really like the Warrior crew, I'll just add a cover over those helmets to turn them into Infanty helmets. I like the scarfs, although I might give the one with oput a scarf one of those 'polar balaclava' things..

I have the warriors set but agree that webbing is pretty inaccurate. What I plan to do is just use the heads and modify some regular kit figures with the arms from the warriors kit. Warriors do offer the head set I think separate I think and you can just purchase the heads only.

I have James, and I have actually just ordered one of their figure sets. Seems that they are the only ones for a decent winter crew.

Ray,

The warriors set also has inacurrate uniforms in some of the figures.

The standing figure is wearing CBA (combat body armour) so with the webbing reworked would be fine.

The turret crew and driver in the set have totally inaccurate combat jackets and no CBA.

The standing figure (which was available seperately) is the only one worth buying.

Henk, if you need photos of the head over with helmet worn etc PM me and ill see if i can take some over christmas.

try using the Cvrt crew they dont look too bad
