Pretty awful kit. Had so much flash that the figures aren't even worth trying to clean up. Just buy the Italeri or Esci set if you can find it, these are literally just poor quality recasts.

Finished assembly! I've made quite a few mistakes, but I think with a bit of paint it'll look quite good.

Funny story, I thought the diagonal lines on the two front fenders weren't supposed to be there and I filled them in with sprue goo. Turns out they were, and I had to scribe the lines again. Oh well, first time scribing panel lines 🙂 you can see it's a little bit of a sloppy job.

I'm trying to find a driver figure for this project I'm "working" on (still ideas phase), a 90s-00s Greek military Jeep (or other 4x4 like the Mercedes G-wagen, etc, I haven't decided yet) in 1/35 scale, you'll find it on my profile.
The figure included in, say, Tamiya's M151A2 MUTT, moreso their Willys Jeep doesn't really fit - I want my guy to be in just fatigues and a field/patrol cap, no helmet or beret preferrably. Beggars can't be choosers, of course. Obviously I can't afford to be super particular with the details, but a guy in fatigues is a guy in fatigues, don't think it matters too much where he's from, once painted in lizard camo he should look just right.
I have actually already found the perfect figure - the driver from the Academy M966 TOW, but he's only sold as part of that kit and I don't like Humvees, not planning on getting the set any time soon. Other than him I can't really find any figures that fit what I'm looking for, not even US Army/Marines, for example (which you'd assume there'd be more of). No resin heads either, from what I've seen.
I was actually looking at the ICM Soviet Drivers set, modifying one of the guys's cap (it's got ear flaps), but I'd like to only do that as a last resort.
Also, for those that have painted modern Greek armour and/or vehicles before (I do realise I'm looking for a very very small subset of scale modellers), what colours would you suggest for the four-colour camo? I'm not talking about the one on Leopard 2A6s that has the bright brown/orange kind of tone. Preferrably in Vallejo Model Colour paints. I can't figure it out by myself - from pictures it seems to be anything from WW2 German Field Grey to 3-colour NATO green, and let's not get into the brown, and especially the white bits being anything from dark khaki to bright white...
Thanks in advance!!

Would the figure from the Academy M1025 work for you ? I think there is a PC figure head in kit. I'm not gonna use the one in the kit, as I'm doing a Blackhawk down scenarios. You can have it if you want.

Update: I have found a set of figures that should work with for my purposes! The set is "Charlie on the left!!!" by Master Box, for anyone interested, I might also get a set of Hornet heads to go with it as plastic heads aren't too great from my experience.
