Need help buying a commander

Hi all

I am just about to start an Italieri Sherman fury edition, with a view to replicate the tank from the movie. I chose the Italieri over the tamiya as it comes with lots of stowage which i didn't feel like scratch building as i am a fairly inexperienced builder. I didn't realise that the model did not include a commander. I really would like one with the pose included with the tamiya kit.

I want to build as seen in the tiger battle scene.

The closest i can find is the us miniart crew

Or the tamiya us Europe crew.

Does anyone with figure modelling experience know if either of these would allow me to swap arms around to replicate the pose? Or is there a way to buy the tamiya figure as a spare part.?

Any help gratefully appreciated 😀

To me, the Tamiya figure that comes with their tank kit looks Asian?

The Tamiya figure set you have linked, the bottom right crewman looks great, but is not holding the radio comm and is without the steel helmet over his headgear - I take it these are important  for your intended scene?

Another thought, how about the setting after the Tiger was shot up, and you could use this dedicated Brad Pitt figure?
