I wonder if a "simple" repositioning of the figures heads to look up would be enough to lend a sense of urgency to the scene? As it is, the guys are all looking down like they're lining up the wheels, or trying to avoid a rock.

Excellent set. A very useful figure set to add to the gun. It would work well with a tank in the background to cover bringing the Flak into position.

What a great set, a bit of tweaking will see a lot of use for these figures. Anyone else thinking of removing the gun shields and doing something a little Saving Pivate Ryan esque? James

I thought of SPR as well, when I saw the crew, and the positioning is an easy fix to more closely mirror the scene. As an arty buff, though I'll probably get this kit just for the gun, though it will look terrific in many dios

Of all the figures Ive painted over the last 2 years, I think Tristar are the best. There is great relief in even the finest details, and the folds in clothes are just right the size, to get a nice shadow and highlight. For some reason, Tristar has a very reasonable price here in Sweden, compared to all other brands. You can bet your last dollar I´ll be buying this set. Thanks for the news Pat!
