With the recent release of Tamiya's T-55 tank, Warriors have demonstrated a good sense of timing by producing a three-man NVA tank crew in 1/35 scale.

There are two partial figures and one full, standing Commander. One of the partial figures is a simple upper torso and head designed to stick out of a driver's hatch. The second partial figure has a whole body, separate arms and head, making him suitable for a slightly more elevated turret position.

Casting of all parts is perfect on my sample. Detail is superb.

The slight stature and Asian facial features are captured well. These features are complimented by simple fatigues with rolled up sleeves and open collars.

Warriors' NVA Tank Crew might also be used to represent members of other Asian armies too.

I do hope that we see new Arab and Eastern Bloc crews in this series soon too.

Regardless of their nationality, Warriors' 1/35 scale NVA Tank Crew will be an attractive and versatile accessory for your Far Eastern armour project!

Recommended.

Thanks to VLS for the review sample
