MiniArt 1/35 German Artillery Crew Riders

This particular set consists of what seems to be the standard number of figures for most sets from MiniArt; Five. These are listed as Artillery Crew Riders, but I think they mean SPG crew and I don't usually see a lot of soldiers riding on towed artillery. All are posed in a sitting position so you really could use these in a variety of situations. The on fellow with the two steering controls could also be used as a driver in a tank should you wish, though perhaps the controls are a bit far back.

The figures have optional helmets if you wish to use those instead of the soft caps. There are also some rifles included, all of which have sink marks on both sides of the butt. Ammo bags and canteens are also included. No instructions are given though there is a parts breakdown sheet. Painting information is provided on the back of the box with many paint options given.

This is a very nice figure set and one that should see considerable use, especially as it is a non-battle set, something that one sees little of in figure sets.
