As title says, I would like to find a resin or 3D printed Panzer crew with well rendered YOUTHFUL faces. My very marginal figure paint skill adds years to the face.
These are the sort of faces for example.
Nothing against Tamiya but figures like these always look fine for ~30 something officers but typically too old for 18-24 year old enlisted.
Thank you in advance.

Get some replacement resin heads that are children, or young boys, and pop 'em on the crew bodies. I think Hornet may have some.

Surely then Hornet Heads are your answer:
A couple of these are quite youthful.
Or these:
I use Hornet Heads quite a bit; they almost paint themselves and I’m no great shakes as a figure painter I assure you.

There’s always these, though they are SS rather than Wehrmacht and represent 12SS “Hitlerjugend”.

@Hohenstaufen, thank you! Those figures are pretty much what’s desired!
Everyone who responded, thank you. I like the Hornet head idea and have been looking at possibilities. However, I need to keep the figure work very straight forward.
