Nice figures. Good to see the Panzer Denims over the usual black clothing. Notwithstanding the fact that the photo would appear to be taken in Normandy, I don't see anything otherwise that would dictate to this being a Normandy specific crew; they would work equally well in Italy or Russia.

These are really nice and I like their poses; especially the crewman sitting on the back edge of the turret.

Stalingrad produces really nice figures. My only quibble is that the heads the heads should probably have the more ubiquitous M43 caps instead of the M34's. I realize the sculpts were based off of a photo, so you can't say it never happened, but the billed field caps were much more common for the Heer at this stage of the war. (Waffen-SS is another story.) These could also be finished (completely or partially) as mouse-gray Panzer outfits, which I do not think I have ever seen done in model vignettes.
Anyway, hats off -- so to speak -- to Stalingrad for a nice figure set!

Stalingrad always hits a home run IMO. Very nice set!
