Hello the staff of Warpark, Very interesting new releases !. The Sturmpanzer IV "Brummbär" early version without zimmerit has a beautifull three tones camouflage scheme and a well done weathering. I guess it is for the Kursk battle with the St. Pz. Abt. 216. By coincidence, there is also the...

Figures based on real wartime photos are always very lifelike in terms of posture, uniform and equipment. I've found this example with 25268 "Waffen SS officer in greatcoat and smock" : 10th SS Panzer Division "Frundsberg" in Galicie Spring 1944.

Yes, but unfortunately all the production is as mine. I wonder why only the three copies of the promotional photo are correct....

I thought it might be an factory error in the placement of the right hand on the arm : the wrist was turned down instead of up. And alas all the production of FPW033 is the same. By the way, what about the three copies of the promotional photo which are in the good position ???? .

Thanks for the feedback but too dangerous in regard of paint chips.

Thanks for the advise. I was thinking of doing this too but I am afraid it will cause immedialely paint chips on the horse's leg ( even gently ). This already happened to me when trying to straighten a horse.

Yes I completely agree, FL is top class in regard of painting and weathering.

Good idea to hide the wrong markings with some weathering. And 899th TD battalion is a good choice for a BOB M-10.

No worries, my enjoyment is still there and I intend to continue my collection. I know the expression you quote, but IMHO most of the problems I talked about are not a search of (an impossible) perfection, but a certain basis of quality.

No obsession at all but simply a hope of having these beautifull FL products with fewer defects and inaccuracies. Being almost the only one to point out the different problems, I know I have the wrong role but I will continue anyway according to necessity. Ultimately, I think collectors would be...

Thanks Medic 314/79th, I almost believed that I was the only one on this forum who was attentive to accuracy !.

Don't worry, I am completely ease up and I will continue if necessary. All these critiques are only intended to inform brands about certain defects in some of their figurines, hoping they can make improvements ( it seems that brands are reading messages on this forum ). I am absolutely not...

Yes there are. I have some tanks from other brands which satisfy me, not "perfect" but with no historical errors. In regard of FL, at the moment I have no tanks of this brand but I don't despair about future releases. I would like to have BB001, BB008 and BB034 but, unfortunately, I missed them.

Effectively, during BOB the 704th Tank Destroyer Battalion was only combat equipped with M-18 Hellcat and not at all with a single M-10. On the other hand, here is a list of Tank Destroyer Battalions which were actually equipped with M-10 during BOB : 629th, 634th, 644th, 654th, 773rd, 803rd...

Effectively, First Legion depicts a "composite" turret ( Factory/Zavod 112) with two separate roof vents : one at the rear and one toward the front of the turret roof. This improved ventilator arragement was only produced from April 1945 onward ( and post-war). There are very few wartime photos...

As some other brands, size of WARPARK figures are sometimes different from each other. The smallest match well with First Legion and William Britain and the biggest can match with King and Country and Thomas Gunn.

At 200 bucks the rider, I think it is not a bad thing to "overthinking" a little. And if no one ever says anything, how defects can be corrected by the manufacturers in future productions ( I know that brands are going on this forum ). After, yes effectively, everyone is free to settle for...

Which brand all these figures, only King and Country ?.

I have noticed that some horses and/or riders are sometimes positioned noticeably leaning instead to be normally straight on the legs or in the saddle. It is not very realistic and given the price of a rider it is really a shame that there is this defect. And, in regard of the horses, it is not...

The saber is not pointing upwards as shown in the photo of the First Legion site but downwards. It is a shame because the pose looks a lot like the other cuirassier FPW031. Perhaps a factory error during the assembly of the right arm/hand of the figure but the problem is that it seems that this...
