He won't have to cut the Tamiya figs, as those three come in quite a few pieces. Boots, front & rear leg halves, then front & rear torso, arms, hands, head, helmet or cap (The DAK 36310 has 3 cap options!) and some have extra detailing, like epaulettes, jacket front detailing and medals.

You just set the feet and leg-front and rear halves aside, and presto, turret optional fig. I know as I have most of 'em... Just avoid the Dragon 1/16 ones... compared to Tamiya's, they are crap - need a LOT of body-putty to fill gaps.
