This was the primary armament of the PzKpfw VI Tiger I tank. It was developed and built by Krupp.
The KwK 36 was derived from the 8.8 cm FlaK 36 anti-aircraft gun by adapting/modifying it to the limited space available in tank turrets.

I just ordered all the new figures too. I've gotten all of the previous releases from George at Minutemen Toy Soldiers and I could not be happier with them. War Park figures are fantastic. I love everything about them. The detail, the realistic poses, the fantastic paint job. As long as War Park keeps making new stuff, I'll keep buying them

Can these be used with the FL king tiger....I am concerned that the winter clothing will not work for the Ardennes, thoughts?

KT shells are different, much longer than the 88mm shells of the Tiger I

As for the uniforms, never say never... but by the later date of 12/1944 there would probably be some camo pieces sprinkled in.

I agree.

Would any one be kind enough to suggest how Warpark’s figures match with other manufacturers, both in scale and stylistically? Many thanks!

Lost in rulers etc., is the price. War Park is producing an amazing product at an even more amazing price.

I agree on the price / workmanship - I'd also suggest that TG are in a not dissimilar zone of quality and value for money, and have been for a while.

In this specific instance I have a lot of K&C Bulge fixtures and I was wondering if mixing and matching is possible.

The overall feeling seem to be that WP,FL and Wbrit? should work together. K&C is too large.
I snapped a quick pic of 2 WP with FL and same figs with 2 K&C BOB.
First Legion is a touch smaller but blends very well.
The K&C looks bigger in person than even what the photos show.

Much of my winter collection is FL I like what I've seen from Warpark with regards to quality and how they 'work and play with FL. I already bought a few of the winter figures, black tankers and a winter schwimmer...needless to say, I ordered these guys too.

From what I've seen the WP winter Germans look pretty good, and certainly at a price point that I can live with, I'll make a order this week for a few sets.

My Tiger Tank loading sets arrived today and I am not disappointed. I think they are excellent and am on the waiting list for the next series of figures and the field kitchen. Well packed and I bought the ammo and crates, loads there and they really add to my diorama.
