Hi,

I want to set up a US army with some M7 Priests. As I want to head for Pendraken minis (I like the German figurines) I wonder whether I can use those from the British list. Is it easy to modify an existing (if so) British gun crew?

Be difficult if in Tin Hats, but a bit of green stuff would do the job. Smile

The real vehicles where identical between the British and US used ones - so as you say it is down to the crew.

The Pendraken M10s don't come with crew - so it may be worth checking with them to see if the US ones do.

If the figures are separate pieces - then leaving them out and swapping for some US figures would be easiest. I may even have some spare Minifigs US gun crew.

The Pedraken Sextons do not come with crew, so I suspect the Priests may not as well.

Have seen SP crew in RAC helmets they are close enough to the US helmet to work in 10mm

Thanx for your replies, lads. So I can buy the Pendraken M7 and add the odd US arty crew from a howitzer or something else.

yes you can just might need to trim the bases of the arty crew to fit.
