    War Park Comparison

    ExRanger, generally speaking, K&C vehicles tend to be proper 1/30 scale whereas their figures are closer to 1/28 scale, so their figures are always a little large next to their vehicles. War Park vehicles are also close to 1/30 scale as are their figures. Therefore, in regards to your question...

    Blitzkrieg! The Polish Campaign Panzer II

    Thanks Mike! Regarding the white/yellow crosses, Steve/Hunter Rose pointed out a while back that during the Polish campaign, German tanks went into battle with large white crosses painted on them; however, they learned quickly that those white crosses were ideal aiming points for Polish...

    Got a Tiger by the Tail...

    Beautiful pics and a fantastic setup, Mike! I can feel the tension as the paratroopers get ready to take their shot… And hopefully not get spotted!

    Blitzkrieg! The Polish Campaign Panzer II

    Thanks for the kind comments, Mike and Horus 😃 Here’s a photo of the actual tank that Hunter Rose (Steve) and John undoubtedly used as a reference for this Panzer II model: I considered making a display similar to the historical photo, but wanted something with a little more action. My...

    Blitzkrieg! The Polish Campaign Panzer II

    A few pics of my vignette diorama showcasing John’s new Panzer II Ausf. A model, replicating a tank from the 1st Panzer Division during the Polish Campaign in September, 1939. It’s a great little model and the GA-10D tank commander looks perfect in the hatch. The accompanying tank riders and...

    Partisan Attack-Russia

    Thanks Mike! That was a perfect re-use of the factory workers as partisans! As for casualty figures, the GERSTAL043 German Heer Infantry Casualty figure is still available. Cover the base with some dirt and other bits to hide the masonry and it could work in a lot of different settings.

    U.S. Infantry Officer Prone 25205

    Looking great, Duke! I had this figure on the back of my WB Sherman tank for a time, kind of mimicking something Ken did in one of his promo photos.

    Partisan Attack-Russia

    Fantastic scene, Mike! Are the partisans some of the FL Stalingrad factory worker figures and are the Germans K&C?

    The Loach in Action

    Yeah, the belt is there! However, I’m glad to hear other collectors got their OH-6s in good shape. At least in this case the issue with my helicopter was fixable… It’s a great model otherwise.

    Operation Barbarossa & The Fateful Diversion South

    Thank you everyone for the kind comments on my display! I truly appreciate it… This is my fourth or fifth different display with this tank since I got it in 2024 and John’s excellent craftsmanship makes the tank look the part no matter the setting.

    Operation Barbarossa & The Fateful Diversion South

    Thanks Mike! It was fun making the sign. I’ve got a background in model building and doing scratch work, so the “carpentry” aspects weren’t too difficult. However, I did have to research the pronunciation of each city in Russian and how those words were spelled in Cyrillic letters… Google...

    The Loach in Action

    OzDigger, it’s rather interesting how many of these 1/30 scale manufacturers make aircraft models with those bolt-sized rivets. K&C, JJD, and TCS have all done that on various models. It’s happened enough times as to almost be an artistic or stylistic choice, lol!

    Operation Barbarossa & The Fateful Diversion South

    I also posted this in the John Jenkins forum, but since all the figures are War Park products, I figured I’d post it in this forum as well. Anyways, pics of a vignette display featuring the JJ Designs Panzer III Ausf. H model in a scene capturing a fateful moment from Operation Barbarossa. In...

    Operation Barbarossa & The Fateful Diversion South

    A vignette display featuring the JJ Designs Panzer III Ausf. H model in a scene capturing a fateful moment from Operation Barbarossa. In July 1941, the 3. Pz.Div., fighting as part of Panzergruppe 2 under General Heinz Guderian as part of Heeresgruppe Mitte (Army Group Center), was diverted by...
