Kit # 53 Squadron / Rubin Miniatures

The Squadron/Rubin figures were sculpted by Andrew Chernak and Ray Rubin. They were co-founders of Squadron-Rubin Miniatures and later went on to establish Grenadier Models Inc., which produced lead miniature figures for wargames and role-playing games. 54mm or 1/32 scale kit. Guide card art by Rubin from 1973.

variety of makers out on the battlefied..I know the Gunner is a Grenadier from 1998, and I suspect the cannon is Grenadier as well..

AirFix 1/72 prone Afrika Korps light machine gunner…displays the excellent sculpting, pose and detail, said to be done by Ron Cameron. Available from many sources, but I hang out a lot at https://www.michtoy.com/vendors-Airfix.html
