Navy gun crew

As a birthday gift to myself I decided to give my navy Joes something to shoot with. It’s classic collection, but most of the crew is vintage joe. Two men of action (one brunette, the other blonde) track targets, while the Sea Adventurer Petty Officer gun captain and modern gunnery officer scan the skies.

Thanks, Dal! He’s hard to see, but the figure that came with the gun is in the back corner.

I gave the Joe that came with the gun a SOTW shirt as consolation for losing his gun!

The shirt is a similar color to the gun; is that supposed to be adequate compensation? Razz

Cool helmet and life preserver, though. Does he get to keep those?

I gave the figure that came with the gun the matching SOTW dungarees for his shirt.

I REALLY want one of those guns!
Interesting article on the manufacture of the model here (pull down):

I have the air-cooled 40mm deck machine gun shown at the top of the article but the two seater is a real treasure. Hard to find these days but it makes a great display!
