new k&c german grille spg (1 Viewer)

[h.hammer]

perhaps this question has been asked and answered,but can anyone tell me why andy is producing the new GRILLE with two crewmen?both versions of this spg,ausf h and k have always been described wth a three man crew?a bit of trivia,the germans produced a total of 392 Grilles between february 1943 and september 1944

K & C must feel that total numbers of soldiers are a ratio of the real numbers. In the past they have released American Revolution gun crews with only three people and an officer. The new Napoleonic 12 pounder comes with only a three man crew, plus an officer. A normal gun crew would have at least six or often even eight crew members. Remember these are only toy soldiers, evn thou they are very accurate, beatifully sculptured and magnificationly painted ones. We can not expect a true one to one representation every time.

Most likely adding a third figure would have bump up the production cost to more then the normal one hundred dollar range that K & C tanks usually sell for.
