I'm looking for a German tank crew to finish off my model, but can't seem to find anything decent in styrene. I've got some Tamiya and Dragon figures, but they look pretty big compared to a resin figure I have. Actually they look pretty gigantic.

Is it possible to use the Miniart SPG crew riders as tankers (1944) or are their uniforms different? And also are they smaller compared to the Tamiya and Dragon offerings?

Any advice would be helpful. BTW I'm looking more for static poses.

Brett what about some of the MiniArt and MasterBox offerings of tank crews rather than SPG crews.

Hi Brett,
If you mean Miniart set 35054? The uniform is basically the same except for the colour.
So, you could use them as a panzer crew but you would have to use a different collar tab.



Grant.

Yeah...I checked them out, but seem to be in relaxed poses outside the tank.

After I wrote this, I went to my LHS and bought the Tristar Normandy crew set. The bodies are slightly smaller with better definition. And easier to modify.

Thanks Vanhall for the input, good to know and maybe useful in future.

Gives a bit of a run down on the Panzer uniforms, also lists the Assault Gun crew differences.
