Seriously guys, don't you think we have enough sets of US figures in Parsons jackets and leggings! Just to give you an idea:
DML's US Rangers at Normandy
DML's 2nd Armored Division Infantry
DML's US Armored Infantry
DML's US Support Weapons Team (4 figs out of 6)
DML's 29th Infantry Division at Omaha Beach
DML's US Army Anti-Tank Team (2 out of 4)
Tamiya's US Assault Infantry
Miniart's US Jeep Crew & MP
Aside from one or two of the figures in Tamiya's recent M4A3 reboxings and Dragon's disappointing 1st Army at Remagen set, this is the first set of up-to-date figures with M1943 field unforms and M1943 double-buckle combat boots that aren't paratroopers!
And by the way, these are not strictly suitable for very late war ear use. Although supply of the M1943 field trousers was a little behind and hence those didn't really become common before January/February 1945, the M1943 field jacket and the M1943 boots began appearing in the early fall of 1944, and maybe a little earlier in Italy. Hence, if you just paint those guys' trousers the proper brownish color, you've got yoursleves some nice fall/winter 1944-45 figures.
Cheers!
