I am looking for one in his trademark Late War beret and sweater. We are starting a bathtubbed Sicily Flames of War campaign in a few week, and I am Monty. My opponent will be Patton. 
It's a race to Messina, with the British player helping command Germans during American battles and vice versa. I will need a figure to represent Monty. I have seen the one from Battlefront for Early War France, but that has him in standard British officer uniform, with standard cap. I think Battlefront used to make one in a Grant tank, but that would not work either. Any suggestions? |

Find a 10mm figure in a beret, should work fine. 😜 |

Battlefront used to do one with their Dorchester ACV, but looking on their site, its not clear if he comes with it anymore. |

I knew BF had Monty, but not as you described link I was hoping for something in Infantry Aces, but no go there either. Sorry. |

If you don't mind one seated (as in a jeep), Peter Pig has an figure in beret seated in their AK-47 range (code 40) that might work. See: peterpig.co.uk/ak47.html PP also has regular officers in beret (code 30), but they all have rifles or ammo bandoliers. |

Maybe a Peter Pig 8-581 Police/Air Raid Warden with a 6-18 or 6-64 beret head swap. Head swapping is a big pita, but if it's only just the one figure, then well maybe,… There's no sweater but, its just a thought. |

I thought there was a classic Monty in the old Roco 'WW2 Personalities' set 271. But it seems not (although it does have a great Hitler and that ever popular Winston Churchill figure). Probably a good job as it is a rare as a very rare thing and commands rather high prices on eBay. |

Martin Rapier, I had also thought there was a Monty fig in the Roco set for I had one in mine to go with the Rommel fig. |

The Matchbox one is a very small 1/76 and could pass for 15mm |
