WTB British 1/32 Firefly Crews

[scwarlord]

I would like to buy the British tank crews that came with the 21st Century Firefly tank. Only the distintive British troops with berets or officer's caps. Email me if you can help. Thanks.

I don't recall there being British specific crew figures. I think the Firefly came, at best, with one of the seated American crew figures.

Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.

Regards,

Matt

Matt, you are correct. There were two versions of the Firefly and only one which came with figures. The figures were the standard 32x seated US tanker and standing US Tank Commander figures. I want to say these came with the S2 version of the Firefly that was at TRU and had the solid green cammo.

The only British tank crew figures that have come with a pre-built 1:32 scale vehicle are those that came with the Forces of Valor Matilda and M3 Grant tanks.

The Matilda commander figure has the grey beret with headphones, kahki desert fatigues, and is standing while holding up a pair of binoculars in one hand.

The Grant tank commander figure has the beret (no headphones), kahki desert fatigues, is holding binoculars and is sculpted in sort of a "leaning" position, so that it sort of leans forward out of the hatch (as opposed to standing fully erect). I believe this figure was sculpted with a passing likeness to General Montgomery.

I'm familiar with the FOV Brit crewmen. The figures I am seeking are in 21st Century Firefly boxes. I have seen them online and at shows. I do have the Fireflys that came with 2 US crewmen, and a set that came without crew when 21st was cutting costs.

Unless I am completely delusional, I'll keep looking for these figures.
