Hello and thank you for entering,
I have alittle problem, I am building the 1/35 Sd.Kfz 10 mit Pak 38 from Italerie and I was wanting to turn it into a diorama. The problem is to do so I would need to have 1/35 scale crew members for the SdKfz and have had no luck finding any. SO, I was wondering if anyone knows were I can purchase some nice figures of a German self-propelled gun crew in 1942-1943 winter smocks like this photo at Achtung Panzer http://www.achtungpanzer.com/votw/10_50pak.htm .
Thank you so much for your help.

Sincerely,
Brendan

Tamiya has (or had) a set of flak crew members in the winter uniforms. They do currently have the Wespe Figure set. It has two crew members in winter uniforms. You can check out Squadron.com for the Wespe set. I am sure there are others out there but these are the two that I know of.

Hope that helps you out some.

Dragon I still believe does a set of Self Propelled Gun crewmen in winter clothing and comes colplete with etched parts for headphones and throat mics. They used to come as part of the Grille SPG and were released seperately. here is an example.

The guy on the right of the photo looks like he's wearing the SS parka and the guy nearest the camera leaning on the vehicle is wearing overalls. DML's set -Commanders Conference Kharkov 6144 has these two uniforms in it so with a little bit of work you could have a unique crew.
I would also consider the Tamiya Wespe crew which can be bought seperately

Thank you, all 3 of you I will most definantly look those up I had found the Tamiya flak crew earlier and considerd it but I believe I'm going to look more towards the Commanders set by DML because according to Achtung Panzer this vehicle was exclusively used by the SS.

Thank you,
Brendan
