General Impression:
Useful for any 1/72 or 1/76 scale diorama with a StuG. Poses and sculpting less good than what we are used from AB. The shells are a bit rough, and especially the small shell does not resemble anything I can identify.
Note:
One half figures, Five full figures. All except one with steel helmet
Packing:
Plastic bag with zipper
Type of kit:
One piece metal figures, 1/76.
Quality:
This is one of my favourites from AB. If they would have optional heads (feld cap or steelhelmet), they would be almost perfect.

General Impression:
Very, very nice and very useful for any 1/72 or 1/76 scale diorama depicting a relaxed winter scene in the latter parts of the war.
Note:
6 full figures.
All in the reversible winter parka. 3 with peaked field cap (from 1943 onwards). Three with steelhelmet (typical for StuG and Pz.Jäger).
Packing:
Plastic bag with zipper
Type of kit:
One piece metal figures, 1/76.
Quality:
This set has some nice poses and is well sculpted.
This set has a bit more flash than usual for AB.

General Impression:
Nice and a bit off the beaten track. Useful for any 1/72 or 1/76 scale diorama depicting a relaxed summer scene.
Note:
Five full figures are included, all reclining or sitting somewhere on a tank. 4 are wearing the black uniform, while the fifth is wearing a two piece denim. The setting possibilities are endless, but I found that they would sit perfectly on a StuG.
