Looking for some help on the Trumpeter 1/35 Modern US Army Crewmen figure set. I would like to know if it is possible to use the three crewmen in this set for a USMC M1A1 from OIF 2003/2004 time frame? The ones shown in the Stryker in the background of the first photo. Also shown on the bottom of the second photo. The vest looks the same the USMC used around 2003/2004 but not sure if the uniform is the same. If I can use them for a USMC M1A1 from OIF 2003/2004, would the uniforms be in the desert camo as shown on the Trumpeter box art or in desert MARPAT?

They would be fine as long as you go with 3-color DCUs (Desert Camouflage Uniforms). The IBA (Interceptor Body Armor) vests are the right type. The MARPAT Desert Camo uniforms are cut differently and have upper arm and lower thigh pockets, which the figures do not.

Thanks for the info!
