I have the M4A3E8 Easy 8 Sherman (Korean War) by Tamiya. The kit comes with two figures and I wanted to add the driver and assistant driver. Would the two half figures in the Dragon set U.S. Tank Crew (NW Europe 1944), be appropriate for the Korean War? I know a lot of WW2 stuff was still in service at the time. Were the Tanker jacket and coveralls were still being worn?



Any help would be appreciated. Al

Thanks for the help, Donald. A lot of interesting photographs for sure. I think I'm going to go with just the two figures that came with the Sherman and not use the Dragon figures. Al
