Not too bad a difference. They're both still within a range that we'd expect for two humans. I take it the Jenkins figure is the right-hand figure? If anything, he looks relatively well-fed for a gunner on campaign, compared to the other fella. But they could go together.

Prost!

Yes, they do fit in together, remembering that people are all different sizes, but in height and width

The Britains looks like he is on the parade ground, while the J J D gunner is on the battlefield, and been hard working, serving the fire breathing monsters.

Steve,thanks for posting this.I have a fair collection of the JJD figures(hoping to make up a battery),but was thinking of getting some of the Britains figures to add some variety.I particularly liked the officer and NCO Britains set.I agree with Obee's comment,but JJD figures are usually more solid looking and this figure is still wearing his pack and other articles which would make him look bigger-he may have just arrived at the scene and would drop this gear before going into action.Thanks again,TONY.

Isn't it a rather old figure? Not relevant to the current sculpts

Hi Vicknor

I posted the photos of the two figures as I had a pm asking me about whether the figures from the two brands WB and JJD matched up size wise and as we all have different opinions to best illustrate I put the photo up as I thought it might be helpful to people to see the difference and decide for themselves.

The JJD RA figure is the most similar pose to WB RA figure and It's what is available at present from JJD.

Hope this helps to explain.
