The product comes from the renowned manufacturer MiniArt, specializing in historical models and diorama accessories.

Historical Information

The models represent American tankers from the Second World War period (1939-1945). The U.S. tank crew was a key component of the Allies' success on the Western Front, especially during campaigns in France and Germany, as well as the fighting in North Africa and Italy. The figures illustrate dynamic close combat situations—soldiers are in combat poses, armed and ready to defend their vehicle against the enemy.

Set Contents

• Five plastic figures of tank crew members in dynamic combat poses
• Personal weapons elements – pistols, machine guns, ammunition
• Plastic sprues for self-assembly
• Photo-etched (PE) parts for uniform and equipment details
• Assembly instructions – clear and detailed

The figures are made from high-quality plastic, while the photo-etched parts ensure faithful reproduction of details such as belts, buckles, holsters, or protective equipment elements. The components allow assembly directly onto any U.S. World War II tank models, e.g. M4 Sherman, M3 Lee.
