Hi Gunther

KP stands for Kronprinz Toy Soldiers.
Here's a link to their website:

Thx Steve.

Anyone have a picture of them standing next to FL Germans ?

They go well together. Maybe a touchup on the bases to make then look more similar... I prefer more generic Landsers, no cufftitle. I thin KP have no cufftitle and WP has the GD cufftitle…
Are the First Legion the seated figures in the halftrack?

I have to agree, the First Legion and War Park figures are very close matches in terms of paint work and quality - and the typical War Park figure costs almost half as much... In response to the original question, here’s a couple comparison photos, though the poses aren’t perfect matches. War Park Gross Deutschland figure is on the left and First Legion Stalingrad figure on the right.

My Grossdeutschland dioramas are growing. There are so many iconic photographs of GD's Panzer Aufklärungsabteilung (PAA) in their Sd Kfz 250's from the summers of 1942 and 1943. I am really psyched to be able to start creating these. In 1942, they still had a decent number of motorcycles left over from their days as the motorcycle battalion. Here is another "serving tray diorama" that I am starting to build out.

Right now there are three manufacturers represented:

1. War Park GD officers and Grenadiers plus GD motorcycle combo
2. FL officer reading map and 24th PD motorcycle combo. I am debating whether I re-decal this as GD. I was going to buy another and then realized they were sold out. Bummer.
3. HJB Sd Kfz 250s - right now they are decaled for 4th PD, but I might change these to GD since I cannot find any pictures of 4 PDs 250s in grey. They are almost always dunkelgelb or tri-camo. The person I got these from did a nice job of a pretty new panzer grey which is good for GD in 1942.

You can see might tray is bigger than my mats, so I am slowly assembling cuttings to make them whole. Not a big deal since most of the viewing angle is whole.

Since I have wanted GD for a long time, and have even considered having figures repainted, the cuff titles are an absolute necessity for me. Understand why others don't want them. FL's don't have them so they mix pretty well, but add an extra pizzazz with the cuff titles on some troops.
