I purchased the 60cm and 54cm Karl kits (the ones with the crew members) and all I can say about the figures are DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNG they are tiny (and unpainted I might add) but a very cool kit none-the-less. I plan on gettin a leo as soon as my LHS has one (ASAMLHSHO). Hmm groupie with these? Fun!

I just submitted a comment on this very model in the artillery section. It comes with a crew of 10 - 12 vinyl figures about 12 mm ( 1/2 in.) tall. There are 2 each of the 5 or 6 different figures. They are very well detailed for their scale and choice of material. They are better than the soft plastic figures of 1/72 - 1/76 scale.
The model has a few faults, but still manages to look good in the end.
