Miltra British Officer in Beret - worth a closer look

In the previous post I included this figure in a row of Miltra figures.

I like this a lot and thought he deserved some pictures on his own.  Not sure if he is a 'tanker' or a 'para' but I think he has something about him.. Not something you can often say for a figure just standing unarmed.  The figure is a bit 'flat on the back' but that seems to be a bit of a 'style thing', as some of the others are the same.

  1. I suspect this figure is B115 Tank Crewman standing in Pixie Suit

    1. I could go with this being a Tank Commander. Never heard of a Pixie Suit!

    2. Doesn't have to be a commander, just a crewman (all crew were issued with pistols I think). There were three different weights of all in one tank overalls issued from 1943 on. I think the phrase pixie suit might have come in post war.

    1. Enlarged you realise the lack of facial detail but when he is in your hands he looks just right.
