Maybe those that build 1/24 cars and trucks...?

I saw it somewhere else. The figures look nice, but it’s an odd combination of figures because two-thirds of the crew isn’t there, they could only aim in traverse like this, and one of them is putting a round into a fuse setter apparatus that’s not going to do anything because there’s nobody in the seat for it I hope they’re planning on releasing another set with the remaining vital crew members (elevation-handwheel turner, fuse setter operator, actual loader …).

The main problem I see with these figures is the uniform.
They are wearing the Luftwaffe's Tuchrock (four-pocket skirt) - that was the dress and parade uniform! There are staged pictures for regulations where this uniform was worn on the anti-aircraft guns - but certainly not during training and operations. A Fliegerbluse (thats the fieldblouse for the Luftwaffe) or overalls would be much better and more believable.

Maybe there was a parade that got interrupted by a bombing raid …? My knowledge of the uniforms didn’t stretch that far, but I did think they looked rather formal in those uniforms compared to how you usually see Flak crews in photographs. Now you’ve explained it, I agree it would be odd for a crew to be dressed this way in action.
