Is that 'never mentioning it to another living soul for as long as you live'?!!!

Not to worry. Nothing given away. The resemblance is uncanny

Well, my order is in for the JS2 and tank riders. I doubt if that surprises anyone. Unfortunately I'll have to wait for it to be shipped - my jet is in the shop so I can't just fly it over like some posh tarts.

any particular diorama scenario?

Yes. A late war eastern front. Includes Panzer I, SdKfz 251/20, captured T-34, Puma and Elefant vs Figarti JS2 and K&C T-34/85. And I can transfer a King Tiger from a neighbouring army group. Sounds like I will need more Russian armour

My order went in for the JS2 and the tank riders . . . and I await the prototype from Rick, hopefully in time to display at the Symposium.

Actually nas, it will be more like a small anti-tank group the Germans raced from one Russian attack to another late in the war. What's that - add the K&C 88 and prime mover for more defence? OK.

Just don't expect the Battle of Kursk, I would have to dig up and fortify the back yard.

Rick Wang of Figarti is donating the prototype of the JS2, the prototype of a forthcoming M1A1 Abrams and some custom Figarti Banners to the museum.

Kurland Bridgehead would be nice. but you do need more soviet armour,
maybe EFR002 will be helpful.

Vezzolf:

I partially agree with you. Those tank riders look about as exciting as tank riders can get. I do not even collect the Russian WW II theatre of ops but must say that these are some of Figarti's finest yet per the pictures. They actually look Russian to me and their facial expressions appear individual/unique. As for the JS2 Tank, a simple WOW sums it all up. What a great release for the "Russian" collectors! Enjoy. On another note, I know I can make that Winter Stuka fit into my collection somehow...someway! Once again, their recent packaging is the cleanest and most secure that I have seen other than a K&C Warbird which is protected and wrapped like a mummy!

I really like the tank commander ....WELL DONE.....He looks very good according to the pictures...but I'm not so sure about the tank riders at this point.....The faces seem to be better then the usual Figarti figures.....Maybe there has been some improvement in their figures......Let's hope so.....and yes Figarti packaging has improved VERY MUCH........Best regards to you Beaufighter

Those are very hard to find. I doubt if very many were made.
