For those of you that had missed out, or for those of you who just want an American tank crew from the winter in late WWII your time is here. MiniArt have re-released and improved an earlier set of "U.S. Tank Crew NW Europe" in their latest figure special edition.

The kit contents:

Inside this kit you will get two sprues for the figures, making five in total. These are the same figures as we same in the earlier (now discontinued) release. These include of course the figures, and some limited number of personal equipment for each tanker.

For this special edition you get three extra sprues filled with the weapons and equipment of tankers, including pistols, binoculars on this small sprue.

M1 steel helmets, entrenching tools, knives and bayonets, water flasks and packs are on this larger sprue of general equipment.

The padded tanker's helmets are of course included, tanker's goggles, "grease guns" and the spare ammo pouches are also on this sprue.

An illustrated painting guide (if you like) of the new and extra gear in this special edition.

A great part of this kit are the decals for the soldiers, division triangles, stripes and lettering are included which would help the figure modeller.
