USPS just dropped these off from Hobby Terra after a really brief (for them) stay at ISC Beth Page. Just had time to give them a quick once over before I brought them down to the workshop, but so far they look pretty good. I'll hopefully have a chance to give them a better look see this afternoon after I've made a dent in the day's chores. And I thought being retired would give me more time for building -- riiiiiiiight...

I have a set of the Modern U.S. Tank Crew (37005) on its way to me now. I am interested to hear what you think of them.

Gino,

The tankers are pretty decent, on par with the USMC tankers. The straps on the tanker boots could be a little better defined, but that's a minor thing, they're going to be hidden inside a turret anyway. I'll replace the pistols because I have a butt ton of the Trumpy M9's that I got on sale and I like the way they look vs. the Miniart M9's. About the only thing I really don't like about them is that the goggles aren't clear, but that's a really minor thing and they can have the tinted lens (I've also got a bunch of clear ESS goggles in the spares box). All in all they're good to go in my opinion.
