Ok that i can do, i can cut off the wheels and reglue'em at more of an angle. True about that
passenger's head, since i took this pic i have his head now looking up at the PZ commander.

Let me post a pic of this, and see if its too much with all of them looking up like you mentioned.
If so i can try and change his head again. I hope my PZ commander figgie turns out 1/2 as good as your two Manstein.

Hmmmmmm...after second thought, I suppose if it were me I'd probably NOT do as I suggested as after a second look the guy in the back is gonna be totally wrong in his psoition and since he is the focal point of the dio you might ruin a good figgie...However, to suggest the VW just got back from the front, maybe turn the wheels sharply to the right as if they circled back around to pull abreast of the tank...also, I'd put the MG gunner's head in more of a relaxed pose looking ahead...don't think that everyone has to be straining to look up at the bad-*** on the roof...he's peering out to the front where they just came from...I have always like that warriors VW figgie set but haven't gotten one yet...

A map would make more sense... As for the guy in back, you might consider using his upper torso and finding a better lower one in order to make him sit better...  You also may have to twist him a bit...

I'll be watching this one, El-Tee... Concurr with Manny too... It'd look better with the KW as he suggested...

Oh, wow...this is gonna be good...I see the Alpine figgie on top of the Jagdpanther--I've painted him twice...

Would it be more effective for your story to have the Kubel coming from the oppposite direction, as if they just reconed the front and sped back to tell the tanker-dude the news? Of course you would have to reposition his head and move the Kubel to the other side so the figs in the Kubel would still work.....

Here's my newest project, a mini dio of Dragon's Jagdpanther with Tamiya Kubel, and
Warrior's figs in the Kubel.
