Lately I've been trying to find some 1/35 scale Vietnam era US tank crew resin sets with a surprising lack of success, can't even seem to find plastic ones outside of E-Bay and some other places on the web that do not inspire confidence. Not enough, anyway, to get a card number from me.

Anyone know a source that I do not?

Thanks
Mark

Found another set of three dismounted Vietnam tankers from Bravo-6, but while it's new (2019), it's also expensive from Hobby Link Japan ($57):

www.hlj.com/1-35-scale-us-tank-crew-brvb6-35308

There's also another Bravo-6 set available from a store in Germany, but it's even worse price wise.

This set and the one in my last replay is the only luck I've had...sorry.

Thanks for your response gents went with the Sprue Brothers option as I have found them to be a secure and trustworthy outfit in the past, and thank you Rob for scrounging these up for me. Strangely enough when I went to their website a little while ago and searched US tank crew Vietnam I got nothin. Just got 'em in perhaps

Regards,
Mark

Yes, Sprue Brothers is probably one of only a handful of online vendors I trust for modeling supplies anymore.

Glad I could help, Mark. I look forward to seeing what you do with the figures.

Alpine makes a set of two. I've never ordered from this guy at Last Cavalry but have met him at a lot of the shows. He sells a lot of figures. Seems to be reputable and I've never heard anything bad about him. Don't know if these are in stock.

Go away or I shall taunt you for a second time!
