Figarti 2015 Overview (1 Viewer)

Wayne; I agree the scale match is not perfect; however it is a lot closer than any other between manufacturer match up IMHO!

Think your spot on with that statement :salute::

UKSUBS; I have built a number of 1/25 Tamiya Panzers and the sets of figures that come with them. You may find it of interest that the proportions of the 1/25 Tamiya figures are identical to the larger 67-68mm K&C and TCS figures. I use the K&C half figure Panzer Kommander sets in 1/24 scale RC Panzers and they are a better fit than in a K&C Panzer; their sholders will actually fit through the hatch!

Good to see Clive had plenty of figarti AFV at the London show !

Figures look an ok match to me, and have to agree that paint job is very poor, one of the worse examples of painting and weathering I've seen on one of their tanks, Figarti really messed up there.

The Figarti Panthers measure perfectly at 1/30 and are a match with FL figures.

The only legitimate complaint some people have is the stock paint jobs ould be better.

I hope Hunter Rose knew it was a repaint before he bought it, he said it was a stock paint job.

I can think of plenty of posts where you have made the same comment over and over again but it never seemed to stop you. I wont muddy the waters with examples as I cant keep track of them all.

I'm sure its a repaint of the FIGARTI Panther,but i could be wrong.

Old inventory. The same pieces have been on Ebay for the last two years and they are not selling!

Yes, HR had Mitch repaint it based on historical photographs. I can't remember if it is supposed to be Grossdeutschland in East Prussia in the winter of '45 or another unit. I think it is the GD.

Supposed to look beaten up and been through hell. So, I think it is a great paint job of worn whitewash, but I prefer that look over factory fresh. As you can tell by how I had Alex (Firebat) redo my Figarti Tigers to be the remnants of GD Tiger Battalion during the same period:

Your collection Looks great mate and i agree I thought it was Mitch,s work him and Alex are up there with the best in my books.

I prefer the more subtle weathering on the Tigers pictured, they look more realistic than the work on the Panther, imo of course.
