Hi All,

Does anyone know of a manufacturer of standing or kneeling 20mm US Airborne artillery crews? I have the SHQ crews, but most of them are prone. since the rules I use reserve prone figures for pinned/suppressed markers, I need crews who are at least kneeling, but preferably standing.

RE: the previous thread: I promise to put great thought into the shade I paint their uniforms! :-)

Thanks!

Hi Crunchy,

I just started getting some of the Kelly's Heroes from Andrew at grubbytanks.com

They list 2 crews
KH-USPARA1 5 man artillery/A-Tank gun crew in various poses

KH-USPARA26 Gun crew (3 figures)

I don't have these yet so I can't comment on the poses – ie standing kneeling etc.

I also suggest a look at Fantassin warmodelling.com Pack WWUSP-09 contains kneeling gun crew for a 57mm at gun

FAA have combo standing kneeling gun crew in pack PIR 10 link

I have found the Fantassin and Kelly's Heroes compatible but the SHQ and FAA are slightly smaller in comparison.

Cheers
Dre

Warmodelling just released some and they go with AB and some plastics pretty well.

Update:

Sgt. Major's Miniatures has released a very nice set of US Airborne artillery crewmen with spotter and RTO:

None of the usual dealers seem to have it in stock yet, but Sgt. Major's says you can order direct.
