The Stuart is from a new (at least in the US) maker--Figarti. The scale is 54 mm [1:32], which is the same as the W. Britain releases. The Hetzer I posted is from King & Country and comes in the larger 60 mm scale.

So far very few dealers are carrying Figarti and there appears to be no price competition. The Figarti pieces are not cheap, being priced at about the same level as the King & Country offerings.

My Christmas gift from my wife (No--she did not pick it out!) is a special edition done for Treefrog Treasures, a mom and pop shop in MN. Except for this offering, Figarti's World War II pieces cover only the war in the Pacific. The link to "my tank" is here:

There is no direct price competition from those who sell the King & Country pieces. I usually buy them from Sierra Toy Soldier Company out of CA because they are also a good company and they offer free shipping within the US. By the way, they also are one of the few dealers who carry Figarti. The link to Sierra's King & Country page is here:

Frank you must like King & Country, as all the items you posted are theirs. I have had the AK Pz III for some time.

By the way--I like them too. But they hit the budget hard, even before the price increase on the latest releases.
