Any one of those crews would look good on the gun, a Luftwaffe ground crew is another idea that you haven't mentioned. Maybe a dio in a town, rubble covering the ground and vehicle, the crew firing off the dio, with troops running around and a few casualties? Just some ideas...

Thats kind of what i was going for, I want to have have a demag with a pak 38 on it also in the dio. I thought of instead of a Luftwaffe field division it would be a Herman Goering falschirm panzer divison unit.

Alright i did some looking around at kits, alot are put of stock and a weee bit pricey. Are there any good regular kits I could get that have crew member fitting what I want. Like certain dragon kits that have one or two figs then another kit that might have some more. Im tempted to buy the Fallshirmjager gun crew from Dragon seems like it could work for a HG division unit in Warsaw for 1944. But I also kind of want to make it an SS unit. Decisions Decisions, what do you guys think?

Thank you very much. I have the Tamiya figures but the winter jackets are reversible but I doubt they would be good for a summer dio! I never thought of an ATcrew

Another winter crew, this one by Dragon:

 

HG division flak crew by New World Miniatures ( I believe they shut down not too long ago, so still good chance of availability).

 

HobbyFan also has a number of crew sets, one example:

As suggested, you could look at both AT and artillery crews for the pose/setting you want.

regards,

Jack

Dragon also has a set of Flak crew figures. Though they are in Air Force uniforms and looking up rather than at ground targets.

I think to get the pose you want, you may have to modify some figures, maybe an AT gun crew would be more suited.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Tamiya actually made a crew for this gun, though they are all hunkered down cos they had to fit in the Wirbelwind turret, They are also wearing heavy winter jackets. This set dates back to about the mid 70's, so the detail isn't that great.

I got the Tamiya sdkfz 7 with the quad flak gun mounted on it, I am looking to see if anyone knows of a company that makes a crew in firing position, but firing at i believe it would be a 180 degree angle, so basically firing at ground level, lets say at infantry or light armor. Does anyone know of anything. Thanks
