1/16 WSS – Tanker No.1 “Reading the News”

This 1/16 WSS – Tanker No.1 “Reading the News” by Dynamo Models is a premium WWII German figure designed for serious modelers, collectors, and historical diorama enthusiasts. Sculpted in a seated posture with a newspaper in hand, this figure reflects a rare and calm moment in the life of a Waffen-SS tank crewman—offering both narrative depth and high visual interest to any scene.

Made using ultra-high-resolution 3D printing, this 1/16 scale figure delivers outstanding surface detail on clothing, equipment, and facial expression. It captures a WSS tanker in a relaxed pose, likely during a maintenance break or while stationed in the rear. The folds in the uniform, the creases of the trousers, the wrinkles around the sleeves, and the detailing on the boots and newspaper have all been carefully sculpted to reflect period-correct gear and attire.

This kit includes two interchangeable heads, allowing for variation in facial structure and headgear (e.g., bare head, sidecap, or soft field cap depending on your build preference). This gives hobbyists the ability to portray different personalities or crew types, and makes it suitable for multiple historical contexts.

Whether you place the figure next to a Tiger, Panther, or StuG, or use it as a standalone storytelling piece, it brings a unique narrative element to your work. Its calm demeanor—reading the news during wartime—adds human authenticity and atmosphere to your display.

This item is especially suited for modelers aiming to depict the German tank crews on the Eastern or Western Front during late WWII, offering excellent compatibility with 1/16 scale armor kits and accessories.

Note: This model is supplied unpainted and requires assembly. Glue and paints are not included.
