I recommend Dragons self-propelled gun crew.
The Miniart one are ok but a bit on the chunky side.
or if you can afford it go with resin figures.
Are the figures for relaxed or action pose?

To get the Tamiya crew he would have to buy the Nashorn kit and that would cost him around $60.

thank you, i had been planning on buying the nashorn, or one similar. seeing as this has the exact figures i would like, i will pick that one.
i think i will also get the dragon set because i dont want to split the nashorn set up. i like it as it is exactly on this site

It depends on whether you want a crew standing or sitting around, or a crew in action loading the gun, etc. Just about any generic figures could sit or stand on any vehicle; but for an action crew they have to be made to fit (dedicated) in their respective positions. Tristar makes a good set, but they're in summer gear. The Tamiya figures are ideal but are not available separately yet.

All of the figures mentioned are GTG. The only difference between SPG and armor crew uniforms was the black uniforms were strictly for tankers. Same style but field gray was worn by SPG crews. Camo was the same for both. Don't forget to add helmets for combat scenarios.

Can probably order the crew sprue for the Nashorn from Tamiya or check on ebay for "Nashorn parts".

While warm weather uniforms for tank and self-propelled gun crews were quite different from infantry and other uniforms, the reversible winter uniforms were identical.

Absolutely,
If you want you can change the heads with Hornet ones.

The Dragon set is much older, and worse in quality.

The trouble with some of these "one size fits all" figure sets is that they end up not quite fitting anything - unless you do some modifications to arm and leg positions.

I enjoy doing the surgery. It gives you options you'd never have when relying on stock builds.

I finally stopped dragging my feet and ordered up some stuff.
I got the tamiya nashorn. I love it so much. I also ordered the dragon 6016 self propelled gun crew.
My plan is to have the dragon set go with the marder iii m as a winter camp.
The nashorn will also be winter, but I might try to put it on a diorama.
Once I finish these 2, I got my eye on a stug
