I need a few Vickers MG & crew types - I know BR160 is BEF with the prominent gas mask, but BR4 is also in th British Brodie helmet , so not a late war figure which would be in the MkIII or turtle shaped helmet.
I have to say from the images, the BR4 looks a cleaner sculpt. Does anyone on the forum have both types and a preference ?
Only have BR4, but quite nice sculpt!

Thanks Peter, nice paint work by the way. Yes, , I have some BR160, but you have sold me the BR4 - they are neat sculpts.
Its odd that the Pendraken request brigade have never asked for post D Day Brits in the Turtle helmet and things like the leather jerkin. Does anybody game late war Brit actions ?

Seconded !

Thanks!
The battle bowler is perfectly suitable for late war actions. The turtle helmet was not that widely issued in comparison.
Very true- but is seems to have been replaced very quickly in the post war army. Peace time RSMs like conformity. I speak from experience.
A range in the turtle helmet would also be good for the growing post war range until battle dress is phased out.
