I always wanted a Crew Chief for my P-51 that I have displayed on my desk. You would never see a photo without one. I used the midget jeep driver as one for quite a while and he sucked. Well, if you need a reason to get the BoB driver, this would be the one! No midgets anymore, hehe. He is a perfect Crew Chief:

Ski - I don't know if you broke down and got the truck yet but the driver has a soft cap and is full size and would fill that roll well in the warmer months when the CC in the Mackinaw would be passing out. Hopefully the trucks hit WM

Good idea! I had actually been using a MB Driver as a crew chief as well! I even combined the head of one with a 2nd Armor Div. tanker body (so the figure is in a soft cap & sweater) to act as a matching driver for my Patton figure in a similar outfit.

As a 16 year Crew Chief on heavies, I would have to agree. However, as not to completely ruin the figure, I chose not to weather the fella, hehehe...

To be honest, the BoB driver makes an awesome medic if you buy the kit from Build-A-Rama.

I think it can best be said that the BoB MB Driver and regular Driver (like that with the WC-63) are good figures for any diorama set "in the rear" or for any US utility vehicle.

Ha!
my BoB driver is a "Jack of All Trades"...
I have him as a gunner, driver, granadier, rifleman, guard, and as a supply clerk!!! ...hahahaha!!!
the figure is the most versatile figure of t he 1/18 line if you have some creativity!
HOOAH!

I use most of my MB drivers to crew the cargo trucks since they don't have all the gear attached to them.
