Except that it is a Wirbelwind.

That is correct in that it is a Wirbelwind but they are coming out with an Ostwind also.

The turret walls are very thick and those rectangles on each of the facets are way too pronounced. Notice the rectangles aren't even visible on this wartime picture: link You can just make out something is there on this: wikiwand.com/pl/Wirbelwind Compare how much room the people have in the real turret. The figures are over sized. They might look too thin compared to other miniatures if they made the crew to scale though.

Here's me thinking what a clever way of doing this piece with the crew in them, then some see every fault they can, should the manufactures have bothered?

Here's me thinking what a clever way of doing this piece with the crew in them, then some see every fault they can, should the manufactures have bothered? It took about a minute googling to find a few pictures and compare them. That seems very basic due diligence for anyone designing a model. So no, I didn't look for every possible fault I could find. I spent under 2 minutes to spot some issues. You think they shouldn't spend that time and they wouldn't want to know before releasing their product? Or are you saying they do this work out the goodness of their hearts and give it to us. We should be grateful for whatever is given?
