Future Figarti Airplanes (3 Viewers)

There is a 1:48th scale model kit available from Tamiya....I think the wing span on that model would be roughly 24" .....Not all that large for a bomber like the Lancaster.....I would buy a built 1:48th Lancaster from Figarti if they did this plane:salute::.

Yes - 26" wingspan at 1:48 and 17" length. That's a big model to me{sm2} I have the Corgi 1:72 diecast Lanc and can barely find room to display it. The only reason to go big that I can think of is to get incredible detail on the model.

That's exactly why I would want to see it done in 1:48th scale....The detail on a Lancaster 1:48th would be fantastic....I WOULD FIND THE ROOM FOR THAT....even if I had to hang it from the ceiling with 30lbs monofilament:salute::

I built the 1/72 Lanc amd it's OK size wise, not too big. I think it's smaller than the 1/30 FW190 from TG that I also have. The reason I like 1/72 bomber is I could get all other support vehicles and airfield equipments easy and cheap.

Would a manufacturer get a sizeable return on a plane made in a scale so different from its other ranges?

It would probably be proportional

Several years ago, Figarti made the B-17 Memphis Belle in 1:32 for $900. A B-17 is marginally bigger than a Lanc

Figarti is in a state of flux right now. Peter Wang is leaving the company and someone is else taking over. They are still in business but apparently in a reduced capacity. I don't know if we will see any more airplanes from them.

Pun intended? If so, excellent work. I love a pun.

To date, that B-17 is one of my most prized sets. She is stunning!

Soon! Way too much flying and away from home even more. Finishing up a move too but still in lovely AZ. Things are finally settling down so back to toy soldiers! Hope you are doing great!

[AVIATOR8]

Does anyone know about Rick Wang's future plans...another start-up perhaps???

 

[Panzer ace]

OK, it probably (meaning definitely) will not happen, but I would love an A-10 Warthog in 1/30th.

 

[wayne556517]

Yeah mate that is coming after the 1/30 scale HE111 ^&grin

Just a "Custom Order" away from dream to your home display! I double dog dare you Jason as your collection's Achilles heal is your lack of aircraft!

First and most importantly we have a confirmed Beaufighter sighting!!!!!!!!!!

As far as my Achilles heal? I have no doubt that you will have lots to say about it when we meet at the Westcoaster..............
