I just converted several of these great figures into U S Marines somehwere in the Pacific. As an avid modeler I do convertions among army figures routinely but to convert into Marines was something a bit different. In my next "so you would like to" I'll have the complete diorama to show with all the elements, this kit was a great starting point. Painting Marine uniforms is quite different but I did arrive at a good match as well as the poses for the kit figures. If you want to place them on the ground as opposed to the Sherman tank as noted I would do that first as the fit on a well-detailed tank might not get the results you are wanting.
For the beginner model builder get help, there are complex design features for the figures and they might be frustrating.

1-35 Scale. Such a scene can now be created thanks to the launch of Dragons latest Gen2 figure set. The 1/35 scale set includes four U.S. Army soldiers suitable for scenes in the 1944-45 period. These American tank riders are the first of their kind to be made available, making the set a valuable asset. Dragon has recently produced some accurate Sherman kits, and at last there are now infantry figures to populate these tanks. Each of the four figures is strikingly posed, either sitting or kneeling, and they have been carefully sculpted to fit onto a Sherman engine deck. Detail is sharp and incredibly refined in keeping with their Gen2 status. Combined they form an impressive NW European 1944-45 scene for Shermaholics. But of course, these figures are also inherently versatile as they can be depicted resting in just about any context. As with previous Gen2 figure sets, these GIs are equipped with the most detailed and latest in molded weaponry such as the Garand M1 and BAR. Their personal equipment is equally well represented in high-quality molded plastic. Indeed, these tank riders are ready to mount up and move out! Skill level 2.
