I don't know of 1/25 Panther crew figures, but there are a lot of 1/25 figures made to go with car models in that scale. They lend themselves to conversion.

Prost!

Ah, Model Cellar, OK. Excellent products! They're in 1/24th scale, though. But badger, they're worth a look. Here is the URL to his 1/24 scale catalog page:

Prost!

Doesn't 75mm scale come real close to 1/25th? I may be wrong, but I thought it was as close as one could get.

Do you have the full kit? I just happened to see, via eBay, that the complete kit included a set of figures:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Tamiya-DT1...ARE-Kit-/224830827104?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276

If you have them already but don't want to use them, understood. But if you don't have them, and have nothing against using Tamiya figures, you might be able to find them on the second-hand market.

Prost!
Brad

1/25 means that a guy of 1,8m is reduced to 72mm ( sole of feet to top of skull )
1/24 = 75mm ( again sole of feet to top of skull )
But beware if 75mm producers are from old school 75mm is from sole to level eyes, meaning bigger in real size
In short in both case size is wrong
Look for Tanker Craft who seems to do 1/24 but on an other hand calling them 70mm

thank you- the kit was already fully built-no figures-and been hashed about a bit-but nothing that cant be fixed, i thought a couple of figures would add a bit of life to it./ badger.
