Hi everyone, I'm new to this, building an M7 preist and can't find any good crew figures, any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Mark,

there is/was three figure sets, each consisting of two different Crew figures, from WARRIORS. The sets are called


WA35642 M7 Priest Crew Set #1

WA35643 M7 Priest Crew Set #2

WA35644 M7 Priest Crew Set #3


The quality is very nice and if you buy all thogether you will have a complete crew for your vehicle.


Cheers


Thomas

I've got that set (two as a matter of fact), they're dressed for winter. A total of 7, or so, figures loading and passing ammo. Both of my sets had been cast so often that the molds were deteriorating with some pretty crappy looking figures - flash, mis-alignment, and, especially, air bubbles!

Looks like I had luck with mine

Here's a good review of this figure set:

The worst of the worst of my figures has an air bubble instead of a face!

Depends what you want to show.
If you want a static firing position you can just use the several sets available offering arty crews doing their job. The job is the same on a vehicle mounted gun as it is with a towed gun. There are sets available for British and GI gun crews in summer uniforms.

I was thinking British, I have started looking at artillery sets, thanks for the tip.
