I thought it melted last month when I used it to get.... OPPS:eek::D! I know the feeling but a Figarti winter KT would be so:cool:.
 
as excited as i am about the K&C King Tiger, and i am currently like a happy puppy :D, i get the gut feeling that Figarti has the ability to suddenly wow and make us swoon.

am really excited about their coming releases. ;)
 
It would be nice if they came through with the rest of the long tom crews and winter Mark IV's that dealers and collectors alike have been waiting for since May, that would be a great place to start..............

I'm sure we can look forward to something great from Figarti in Chicago,its become something of a tradition with them now!.I'm hoping for an Allied Tank from them.

Allied or Axis, i think its quite safe to say that we can expect much from Figarti.

But if they come out with 1/30 tanks with removable tops like their Outstanding 1/32 Tigers, :eek: i think i may have to ask advance pay from my boss.. :eek:

An M-26 Pershing perhaps? I know it saw limited action but it would be an awesome addition to Allied firepower. I don't think anyone, besides FOV or something like that, has done this one yet?

We really need something like the Pershing.My Allies were already heavily outgunned and recently we have had another 88 and a forthcoming King Tiger.

Lets have a Matilda or one of Hobarts funnies from Figarti,theres a whole range of Allied Tanks just calling out to be made.:)

i hope by this time next year, there is enough releases, that i can finish a diorama i had wanted to make -

Operation Goodword.

British Armoured columns versus the German Panzerjagers (Tankhunters) :)

I'd love that too, but I'm not holding my breath. It would be interesting to know what the inventory turn/sell thru of German vs Allied armor is?

I agree that although the M26 (actually T26E3 at the time) didn't make a big contribution, it and the M24 stand as the beginnings of modern US tanks that operate today.

Perhaps we could get Sgt. Early's tank from Cologne (the one in the famous photos and films). We could even get "Fireball" which was unlucky enough to get hit by a Tiger1 (2-3 hits from the 88mm gun in a town). Fireball had a gash in the turret and a damaged gun mount but was repaired and placed back in operation to finish the war. Another subject would be one of the heavy tank platoon attached to the 14th Tank Battalion of the 9th Armored Division. These tanks help spearhead the advance into Remagen and provided cover fire for the assault across the Ludendorf Bridge. Supposedly (I haven't seen the documentation) the M26 at the Wright Museum is one of these tanks.
Figarti could even go "NUTS" and use the T26E3 production do do a "very limited" edition of the T26E4 "Super Pershing". This came with a loger 90mm gun and on its arrival in the ETO the 3rd Armored Division added extra armor plates cut from a wrecked Panther. They wanted to go out and fight a King Tiger with it. A weird but dangerous looking beastie! Trivia: for those going to Chicago - the M26 at the 1st Division Museum is actually another one of the T26E4 prototypes (not the one from Europe, though).


We can always hope.

Why not the Super Pershing that destroyed a King Tiger and a Panther V at Dessau on April 21, 1945?:)
