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.

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

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

      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.

    I agree, he is exceptional!

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