Over the past couple of
years we've been provided with several decal marking
options for French Sherman tanks, both within kits
(Dragon) as well as aftermarket (ARMO and Peddinghaus,
for example). But until the release of this set, I've not
had any appropriate figures for the French tanks. I had
always read that the French were supplied with American
gear and uniforms, so that I could simply use American
tank crew figures for French. However, these figures here
have very distinct helmets. They almost look like and
American steel pot put on backwards, but I assume that
they represent the French helmet design. Aside from that,
the uniforms and small arms are all American made. These
figures are extremely well molded, and I like the variety
of poses a lot. A few heads and arms are provided as
separate parts for extra detail, and allowing for a small
amount of customization. The standing figures are from 24
to 25mm tall, which makes them perfect for 1/72nd scale.
