I'm not super-keen on beute-pz's, but I like the crew poses. One guy looks like he could be strumming a Balalaika.

...I need to find crew for a Nashorn...

The crew figures are nicely molded, but to me look to be closer to 1/32 scale. They are beefy. Some of the more recent releases have been a bit more in line with true 1/35 scale...IMHO. Richard

I have the set in question and in person they are no more beefy than any other figure. In fact a couple of them build up as rather tall and gangly. Artillerymen as opposed to tank crewmen. I find them a good alternative to other Panzer wrap garbed figure sets. To me a guy in a panzer wrap can be anything it's all in how you paint him, litzen or skull pins.

They're great for just about any German self-propelled artillery.
