It's a nice set. I already used one of the figs on a previously built Pz III.

Perhaps the nicest thing about this set is that is shows Rommel in a position that is more engaged than usual. Video footage of Rommel shows him seldomly with his hands behind his back. Now we have an injection moulded figure to attest to that.

Found a photo (google search) of Rommel sitting on the cupola of a Panzer 3.
The pose is obviously based on that photo. The standing tanker (with rolled up, sleeves) is in the photo too.
