Modeling the U.S. Army in WWII

This is a nice, if somewhat pricey, set of three jeep riders.  The driver is leaning over his seat, looking at the man in the rear.  The driver wears a tan mackinaw, as does the GI next to him in the front.  This man also is holding an M1 carbine.  The rider in the rear is talking into a radio handset.  He’s wearing the M1941 jacket.  All wear the canvas leggings and boots.  Their pants can either be painted a brown wool or olive drab.  Accessories include an M1 Thompson submachine gun, grenades and canteens, but a radio is not provided.

The figures scale more towards the smaller end of 1/35, similar to current Tamiya soldiers. They are definitely undersized compared to Verlinden's similar trio in "Willys Jeep Crew and Accessories."
