But ideally a kit would provide the most appropriate figures, rather than more unusual combinations.

To me the current uniform looks comfortable in mid war scenario. I would say it's a M40/41 tunic (correct me if I am wrong), M40 trousers (straight legged design instead of the M43 tapered ankles),  gaiters and ankle boots which were common after 1941.

What I also like about this design is that if I paint it khaki/olive, I can easily pass them off as Afrika Korp.

You seem to be getting the hang of sculpting crew.  The 3D prototypes look very good.

My only comment is to make sure that your final uniforms are appropriate for the variant they're intended for.  I know you're not focused on uniform detail yet, but the Ausf C was essentially a mid-war vehicle, so the crew wouldn't be in late war uniforms.  It'd also be nice if the /3 included an officer in a peaked cap.

Pardon me for an amateur joining the conversation, can an Ausf C survived mid-war and then used by a late war crew wearing late war uniform?

I can say for sure it is wrong if I saw a guy with field grey uniform and jack boots standing in an Afrika Korp vehicle in a hobby show. If Rubicon's model also include markings for Afrika, I would hope the crew would wear appropriate Afrika Korp uniform too.
