The best War Park figure yet IMO. Great subject and pose! Very realistic rifle and scope.

That cart is superb and could suit a long period of history. Is it available as a kit?

Like on the recent War Park Panzer figures, the increased paint standard on the faces is really nice. These will blend in great with FL figures.

Ordered mine yesterday, have the first releases and they are great, mine should be here in a week or so and will go with my Eagle Design tanks, Panzer III and IV and go well with the K & C vehicles, look better than K & C figures.

Agree Completely:salute:: I like the smoking group but what I really want to see is more fighting poses and tank riders

Mine arrived this week, less than 7 days after I ordered them, they are very good, as a stand alone group they are excellent in their own fight, do not go with K & C and could at a pinch go with T Gunn, look as if they can go with First Legion, but do not collect FL so cannot compare. I have emailed and asked what's next? If same era then I will definitely buy.

This batch of Kharkov Germans arrived. I'm pleased with them and they will look very nice on a shelf dio.
Initial impressions:
- faces are very well painted, they look realistic and like WB faces.
- helmets look OK to me. Not as good as WB's Stahlhelms but better than tons of FL Stalingrad helmets; not perfect but acceptable to me
- cigarettes are WAY oversized. War Park takes the WB/TGM approach to cigarettes. I'll likely paint them brown as they look about perfectly sized for cigars.
- large over-sculpted seams at the shoulders and wrists are there on the Smoking Group figures. These are not accurate for the uniform. They are not present on the guy with the chicken. Black wash on the seams and makes them stand out.
- not sure why the guy with the chicken has a black panzer cap. This should be a Feldgrau cap since he's a grenadier.
Overall the figures look really nice and realistic to me on a shelf. My initially reaction is they give a very grittily realistic impression. Not perfect but improved from the first release. Hopefully War Park will work harder on the small details for future figures. Excellent value at half the price of a FL figure.

They work pretty well as stand-in tank riders.
Hopefully, we will see a dedicated tank riders set from War Park.

Looks like everyone's sets arrived today. I grabbed some of the supplies and am very very pleased with them as well. They seem to work very well with he Ed tiger. Hunter Rose if you don't mind I will steal that cigar idea, I agree on the oversize cigarettes. Well here is my quick pics, but I seem to be late to the party.
