A welcome, and hoped for set of figures to accompany ICM's 'Taxi de la Marne'. The driver in particular, as period civilian figures are nonexistent. I see that the prone soldier, as well as the sitting one with the flag, are meant to be placed on the roof of the taxi. Another figure, to be seated inside the car, would have been nice. All in all, definitely a "must have" for me. Thank you ICM. Al

Yep...nice set but why anyone sit inside???....why?...aircon broken and to hot inside?... ...at least one sit inside with the backpacks of the other 3 was a smart addition i think

There you go Al. Im sure a bit of Frankensteining can put one inside. Two sets and you can put 3 inside with the others on the body. Though i do wonder about the 2 on top with a canvas roof.

Hello,Bob. The roof is a solid part of the body, only the back half, the fold down top, is canvas. As far as inside, two would be a tight fit. Three would be impossible. Al

There's a reason most photos show the troops all riding on the outside (including the roof). Ammunition, gear, food and heavier weapons rode inside.

From something I saw on another site, I think ICM might release the cab and figures as a combo, as well as individually. Al

I also believe this will occur and said so in the review I think.
