1/16 WSS – Panther Crew No.3 ‘‘’Reading Newspaper/Smoking’’

The 1/16 WSS – Panther Crew No.3 “Reading Newspaper/Smoking” by Dynamo Models offers a compelling snapshot of a WWII German tank crewman in a quiet moment away from combat. This 3D-printed resin figure depicts a member of the Waffen-SS Panther crew either reading a newspaper or smoking, depending on your display preference. Both options are possible thanks to the inclusion of two highly detailed head sculpts, giving modelers the freedom to customize their build.

This figure is sculpted in 1/16 scale, matching the larger scale favored by detail-focused modelers and collectors. The relaxed body posture is finely rendered, complete with realistic folds in the uniform and lifelike proportions that convey a moment of downtime during the war. Whether portrayed reading military dispatches or enjoying a cigarette beside a Panther tank, this figure adds narrative depth and realism to any WWII diorama.

The uniform is appropriate for late-war Waffen-SS tank crewmen, and the figure integrates seamlessly with 1/16 scale Panther tank kits, particularly those in rest or rearming scenes. Every detail—from the creases of the jacket to the expression on each optional head—is sculpted with precision, reflecting Dynamo Models’ commitment to high-fidelity historical accuracy.

Ideal for historical miniature collectors, WWII armor enthusiasts, and diorama builders, this figure works beautifully alone or alongside other crew members from the Panther series by Dynamo Models. Pair it with additional figures for a complete Panther crew scene or showcase it solo to highlight the craftsmanship.

Note: Figure is unassembled and unpainted. Paint and glue not included.
