We are delighted to announce the release of our latest 75mm resin figure kit — the British Tank Commander, North Africa, 1940–1943 (SKU: AB/38).
Goggles up, dust scarf flapping — this characterful new release captures a British tanker in the heat of the Western Desert campaign. From the worn leather beret and dust-caked goggles to the loose-fitting uniform and webbing detail, the figure conveys everything evocative about the Desert War: the dust, the heat, and the quiet determination of the men who fought in it.
About the Figure
This is a full 75mm scale figure — not a bust — giving the painter the full scope of the subject from head to toe. The pose is natural and relaxed, making it ideal as a standalone display piece or as the centrepiece of a North Africa diorama alongside your favourite Crusader, Honey, or Matilda build. The resin casting is crisp throughout, with fine, uniform texture, clean folds in the clothing, and sharp detail on the equipment and insignia.
- Scale: 75mm (1:24 approximately)
- Medium: Multi-part high-quality resin
- SKU: AB/38
- Price: £37.95
- Sculpted by: Alan Ball
- Box art painted by: John Schley
Painting Possibilities
The Western Desert setting offers a fantastic palette for the figure painter — sun-bleached khaki and sand, leather and web equipment in various states of wear, the warm tones of skin in strong desert light, and the ever-present suggestion of dust and grime. Whether you prefer a tight, clean competition finish or a more atmospheric, weathered interpretation, this figure will reward your effort at every stage.
The figure also works beautifully as a standalone display piece mounted on a simple desert base, or as an addition to a larger scene depicting tank crew life in the desert.
