Figarti Miniatures: Winter Ground Stuka Hanomag - ETG-009

Figarti Miniatures is also releasing A winter ground stuka 251 Hanomag with crew - ETG-009, this week. This limited edition Figarti miniature retails for $249.00 USD. The Winter ground stuka is available at www.BgsToySoldiers.com for order today.

The German Hanomag 251 half-track was a useful armored half-track used for troop transport and also, some of the hanomags were converted to mobile anti-aircraft and some were equipped with rocket launchers that would fire 320mm rockets. These hanomag's rockets were highly inaccurate, but effective for bombardment of allied positions. A group of Hanomags would be used to rain down rockets on allied bases during German offensives.

The 251 Hanomag's armor was good against small arms, such as machine guns, but artillery, explosives, and tank attacks could severly damage the Hanomag.

Figarti: Hermann Goring 251/17 - RMG-010

Figarti has just released the Hermann Goring 251/17 motorized Anti-aircraft gun, which is limited to only 100 pieces and retails for $289.00. The piece is in stock, and will be available on www.BgsToySoldiers.com this weekend. If you have been waiting on this piece, please let me know via email, as I am sure once they are up on the site it will be hard to get one before they sell out. Here is a little information about the piece posted by Figarti:

"As the war progressed, the Germans found themselves getting more and more desperate for motorized anti-aircraft guns that could keep up with their fighting units. One solution was the mounting of a 2 cm FlaK 38 gun inside the modified armoured hull of a Sd. Kfz. 251 halftrack. Adding to its Ą°Road to RomeĄą line that focuses on the WWII Italian Campaign (Ą°RMAĄą for Allies and Ą°RMGĄą for Axis), Figarti Miniatures proudly introduces its Ą°Hermann Göring 251/17Ąą (Item # RMG-010) with four crew figurines manning the gun. Done with an attention to detail, the Figarti 251/17 Ausf. C has a detailed transmission, fine width indicators made from brass, and painted with the white circle with red tab used by the Hermann Göring Division to identify a flak unit. The flak crew wears various Luftwaffe tropical uniforms and camouflage smocks with the distinctive Luftwaffe eagle over the right breast. Only 100 sets of this livery will be produced."
