hi , all, sorry to brag on about the wirble wind but i hva ecome across a big problem, well the tamiya kit only has a winter crew and i want to have this wirblewind and its crew in a diorama with other germans( germsan machine gun troops) but its not going to look right because these gmg troops are not winter and the wirblewinds are so how can i include these two kinds of troops/crew together histroically correct?

all help is greatly needed and appreciated.

Tamiya provides a gun crew for the Flak 88, mayby you can use that one for the Wirbelwind crew. On the other hand you can try to make cothes for the assualt troops with milliput if you are confident enough. Or try the aftermarket kits. Good luck.

I think there is a Warrior AM kit. They are available, but a bit pricey.

hey matt

im just painting the wirbel figures now. I know what you mean when they arent exactly what you want/need. Ive done some head/arm/hand swaps on them, and thanks to slodder and paulhanson i discovered that these uniforms were reversible, white one side and camo/grey the other, so you have the option of using them with a little adaptation.

Matt-

I am building the Tamiya Flak 88 right now... but I will not be using the crew. You are welcome have these guys if you still need em. Send me a PM with your address and I'll get them out to you ASAP.
