Anthony,
IIRC this set is just a Tiger crew, it's not a special set of true 'Aces'.

Thanks,I will place an order with Spruebrothers,but you know,that would be too small an order,the postage would be too much,so I guess I will have to add a couple more items to make it worth my while.

They are actually ment to represent different Tiger Aces ,they wouldnt appear altogether on the same tank normally ,but it would be silly trying to get that many Tigers on the front of one box ... lol the guy in Black is Micheal Wittman ,I know that cause Im painting the same figure in 1/16 for someone ...same pose too ! Chris. Yes,I did realize that is Wittman,but is that his crew or other aces as you say.I wanted to put them on 007 |

I disagree, Chris. The chap on the right is clearly depicted as a NCO, which can be seen from his shoulderboards and the missing aluminium piping around his peaked cap. That's what would indicate an officer, so he is most likely meant to be the gunner in the rank of a Hauptscharfuehrer. The whole lot seems to represent Wittmann's crew on or around the date of his death, as his former gunner Balthasar Woll, who had great share in the achievements of Wittmann and was also awarded the Knight's Cross, was no longer part of his crew at that time. Cheers, Tobi |

So it sounds like I can use these guys on Wittman's last ride. Not that you are going to be able to tell who they are after I get done with them.  |
