Tamiya Military Miniatures Flak 38 crew (in winter uniform) and TriStar Flak 38 crew

well I won the Tamiya Flak 38 crew and the Tristar Flak 38 crew on Ebay and hope to use the Tamiya set on my Mobel Wagen when I do it in a Winter scheme and the other set I'll use on my single barrel Flak 38.

Sounds like a good plan.  Though you will clearly notice the quality difference between the OLD OLD Tamiya set and the tristar one.  The Tamiya one if I remembered corrected was included in that sdkfz 7 halftrack mounted with the quad AA gun.  Their older version of the mobelwagon actually came with its own set of figures in action.

I looked at the Quad 20mm that came with the Mobel Wagen and it is the same as the Quad 20mm that I built and the Mobel Wagen had only 4 figures and are in the regular summer uniform while the Tamiya figure set comes with 5 figures and are in the reversible Winter/Fall uniform. As for the TriStar set that is for the single 20mm of course TriStar has its own version of the Tamiya 20mm so I am confident that this set will work.

well I looked at the TriStar kit that finally showed up and man the details on each figure are pretty good.

well I got another Tristar Flak crew kit since I had gotten the other Flak 38 kit so I needed another crew to crew it.
