They look pretty good. One point though, I believe they are wearing NOMEX CVC (Combat Vehicle Crewman) uniforms, not flight suits (as mentioned in the reviews of them). They look similar, but are different.

I don't quite understand why many tanker figures, be they in 1/35 or 1/16th scale, don't have vest pouches as part of the kit. I know that one can buy aftermarket 1/16 and 1/35 resin ammo vest pouches now, and perhaps that is a good idea as when the newest aftermarket vest pouch kits release over the years, the modeler can upgrade with the latest pouches. Nonetheless, most tankers in photos have vest pouches and carbines with them. Very nice figures though. The lack of vest pouches doesn't detract from the figures since one can solve that issue by buying aftermarket pouches from other companies.

Gino, I was looking at Nomex CVC but I don't think these have ziperred openings on the lower leg. Flight suit CWU has those features... Quite a few sites list Marine crews wear Nomex Flight suits as well. Pete, I think tankers usually don't have pouches on their vests as it would make movement in tight spaces very awkward, crawling in and out of a tank, etc. Mario
