Figarti Stuka / 21st Century Toys Stuka Comparison Pics (1 Viewer)

[PanzerAce1944]

I have both aircraft and since a few here brought up the topic to submit some comparison pics here they are. In the photos using a ruler the bottom of the ruler was placed at the rear of the tail end of each aircraft, showing where the 12" mark wound up being at the front of each one. The biggest visual indicator in size difference is at the width of each wingspan: 19 1/4" for the Figarti and 16 3/4" for the 21st Century plane. From nose to tail the difference is not as evident.
The length of the Figarti Stuka is 14 1/3" while the 21st Century plane is 13 3/4" in length.

Thanks for posting PA. They are close enough to share an airfield for me. 21st century did not do a bad job. I think I payed around $20 for it at toys r us back in the day. Keith

You bet ! The nice thing about both planes is they are different variants, one having the cannons mounted while the inexpensive 21st plane has the bombs mounted.
All said and done I am quite pleased with the Figarti plane. This 21st version is a lot of plane for the money, but does not compare to its heavier and larger counterpart.
If another company comes up with a polystone version in the future I will pounce on that one too !!! :wink2:

Once you put figures with the 21st century one it won't look the part.

Makes for a good one to hang from the ceiling. If it comes crashing down you are only out $25.00 {sm3}

Thanks for the pics PA. I have two of the 21st C 1/32 Stukas and have used them for several dio photos. They can look good with Figarti/K&C figures if taken from a certain perspective.

Completely Agree.... at $25 dollars that is a steal....Not a bad looking Stuka....Thanks for taking the time to do some comparison photos and measurements

Good comparison pictures. The Figarti is the much larger plane. I also notice that the camo patterns are identical. Was this a standard camo that would have been the same, more or less, for all green Stukas during the war? -- Al

I don't know if I would call it a standard camo pattern, but it was a common one used by many Stuka units.
