Progress was made today ! Got 3 of my FJ tank riders sorted . The tricky part is finding arms that suit the pose you have in mind without having to kit bash an arm out of 4 cut up pieces . Both the German and Russian troops with the , long thigh length tunic are great for leg swaps as the crotch is hidden under the tunic . Lots of latitude for poses as opposed to the Brits or US plastics . Not fun trying to give those guys a normal looking lower body . 

The seated figure is a mix of plastic seated German lower body , with the upper body of  a plastic FJ  .I haven’t decided if the seated figure or the kneeling figure on the rear will be carrying the MG 42 , its a case of test fit the arms and weapon to see how it works . Pictures show a dozen guys riding on the the engine decks of these Tigers , but I’ll be happy if I can shoehorn in 7 .
