I allways loved the Verlinden figures although they are a bit too big. They say its 1/35 but I reccon its 54mm. As I could obtain the gendarme cheap lately I had to give the man a role.
As I was building the M8 HMC I was also intriged to build an M7, as on the decalsheet from Stardecals for the M8 were already the decals for Baboon.
The deepwading features got my eye and as I could obtain a Big Ed (Eduard) for the M7 including deep wading gear it was a go.
It seemed Baboon (and some other M7's) were slightly different, like the cast nose and the M3A1 halftrack mineracks at the side.
