Availability of new Figarti sets (1 Viewer)

I just heard from Rick at Figarti, and we will be receiving the first 54 numbered Stuart Free French tanks. We will also receive the second shipment of ten P-40 airplanes (the first 10 were reserved at the Westcoaster).

I have made web pages for you to pre-order the Free French tank, the British Tank Crew, and the Dick Rossi P-40.

Many thanks to the Steven Chong for the images!!

There are also some new releases from the Iraq range, but since we don't have images I'll hold off on making web pages for them.

Dear All,

I have mis-informed Pete on the Free French tank release. We will NOT be numbering these tanks. However, please do reserve your rare limited Dick Rossi P40 signature edition with Pete, we won't be rolling these out in huge quantities all at once for reasons related to personal signing by Dick. So although we limit production to 199, we may not get there.

Anyway, apologize on the mis-information on the Free French tank numbering but it is a beauty and we will only make 299 of these worldwide.

The West Coaster show was a great success for Figarti, thank you all for your support.

To clarify further, its not because Dick Rossi is not willing to sign these planes, its simply signing it all at once, can be tiresome for a 90 year old.

There was a lot of interest at the West Coaster, and many collectors immediately went to the Figarti dealers at the show and put in orders. The pictures I posted were of the unfinished prototype (wheels attached with putty, flat finish had not been applied over decals, and some details missing).

James Wang, Rick's father and the founder of Figarti, said that Dick Rossi got very tired after signing the first ten. I do not think they are going to ask him to sign more than ten at a time.

P.S. So I'm now THE Steven Chong.
