I've posted this on OSW since that is the obvious place for this kind of thing, but some of you might be able to help me on this as well.

I'm looking to get me a nice little FJ group, Erwin Stangenberg is so damn cool that he really deserves a few compagnons.
There's a big chance I'll be getting Dragon's Alte & Junge, the mortar team, since I'd love to have a bit of variety in colors. But I like Erwin's jump smock, (or better said field smock, as someone pointed out) best for sure. So I'm looking to have one or two more like it, and I'd be using it on an officer à la Heinrich Zimm (http://www.toysunlimited.nl/images/FJ_Officer_Ardennen.jpg).

Now as you know Erwin is hard to find thus very expensive (he cost me a small fortune). Zimm is even harder to spot, and as far as I know they are the only two figures using this particular field smock.
Enter the BBi FJ's. Anyone have comments on these? I've been told the color smock color is quite different from Dragon's, but at least they're affordable...

Hello Doomhammer, I recommend the following two boards for the best info on WWII 1/6th scale figures:

http://www.sixtharmygroup.com/portal/index.php

The second one requires one to be a member but they pretty much let everyone who applies, in.
