This figure set is almost 10 years old now, so latest releases will probably be showing some flash, or misalignment. But they are a good "panzer scramble" set.

It wasn't a very good kit to begin with. A decal sheet of rank and collar badges would be more interesting than weapons which, by and large, tankers don't use anyway.

Actually the accessories here are very useful for tank crews especially with all kits with interiors missing the flare guns and smg storage.

Are we talking about the same kit here, or did you just not see these figures yet?

I have the kit and used a few of the figures. They were OK at best. Did not find them very realistic in their poses and "body language." Your mileage may vary, but I will not be purchasing this set a second time even with the extras.

These seem really nice, except possibly the silly-looking standing figure on the right: he looks like he's about to fall down off his skates or burst into song. The rest make up for him and even he could be altered, I guess...

Remarkable how a lot of poses that are quite real and different from the typical photogenic ones are considered silly. I spent too much of my youth in and around tanks and saw all of these stances . That really silly guy on the right would be just perfect for someone yawning.
