Figarti Miniatures: U.S. Sherman M4 with Fording Stacks - ETA-005

Figarti Miniatures - US Sherman M4 with Fording Stacks - ETA-005


Figarti Miniatures has just released ETA-005 as part of their 1:30th scale WWII European Theater collection. This piece retails for $179.00 USD. We have already sold out of this piece, but more are coming soon. We are getting new releases as they come out, but in low quantities, due to limited availability on the initial run, but as they release 2nd and 3rd waves of the newest figures, we are restocking them. As for limited edition figures, we will be able to get 3 or 4 maximum. Figarti has become the rising leader in the military miniature collectibles market. Their pieces are hard to keep in stock, and we are getting pre-orders on pieces before we even put them up on the site, www.BgsToySoldiers.com. This piece was no different. It is a fantastic, well crafted piece.

During WWII, specifically during the Pacific Theater, tanks were fitted with Fording Stacks. These stacks allowed the tanks operate in deeper waters. During beach landings, tanks were often lost when LCMs sunk, or when tanks were moving towards land and hit deep holes in the water. The fording stacks were fitted on the tanks to combat this. You can find this piece soon at www.BgsToySoldiers.com.

Check for availability at www.BgsToySoldiers.com and watch for new Figarti pre-orders.
