The Panzer 38(t) looks good, shame about the limited run, I can see this being a popular item!

Read your ebay description, the Panzer 38 and IV have rolling tracks?
I am glad to hear this, was always one of the only things that disappointed me about FoV 1:72 models.

Hmm.. Will submit it to independent examination then. Had a fellow asking a few months ago, wanted to know if the tracks moved on the Wespe. I think he ended up moving to Panzerstahl just because of this feature (or lack there of!). Maybe I've just been unlucky, but never had a FoV "smooth runner"... Hopefully this is a sign that they are going to change that.AMERICAN_GRENADIER wrote:thats direct from FOV so you never know for sure? i always tell people some work better than others

I know that FoV's claims have caused confusion in the past was all!

Re: NEW FOV 1/72 Panzer IV & 38(t) PICS
Recieved this yesterday. I've got a new favorite FOV 1:72 tank
I know the detail is not as crisp as what would be found on a similar Hobby Master or Dragon offering, but its well done for a FOV vehicle and its the only Panzer 38 in 1:72 thus far. Besides, I'm always a fan of the FOV tank hallmarks like commander figure in the turret, the movable treads, and the diorama accessories.

Still waiting in the UK, have not seen any of the 2011 releases land in the UK yet. Spare a thought!

I forget about them... they are a bit hard to find this part of the world

Re: NEW FOV 1/72 Panzer IV & 38(t) PICS
I'd love for FOV to take the hull of the 38t and release the 140/1 on it next:
It's always been a favorite of mine - it just looks cool!

Re: NEW FOV 1/72 Panzer IV & 38(t) PICS
So it seems the new price for 1:72 FOV pieces is up to about $20 MSRP? That's a big jump from the previous prices of @$13. Anyone know why that is?

To Stormy Thoughts - I have not heard anything about this in Europe are prices are already as they should be and have been for as long as I can remember. I'll let you know if I hear anything else. I am expecting the Panzer 38t and Hetzer to retail at around £19.99 (we'll probably have it lower though), this has not changed.
To USA collectors - This could be a simple case of supply and demand, as American_Grenadier already stated, they did not make enough Panzer 38t's to meet demand, hence the price rise. This is only a theory, the two events may be unrelated and they are simply bringing prices in line with the rest of the world, which is my belief.

Re: NEW FOV 1/72 Panzer IV & 38(t) PICS
im sorry to say its FOV 1/32 & 1/72 items wholesale prices went up 4-5 dollars per unit.
the increase isnt that big an issue with 1/32 but 1/72 a 4 to 4.50 dollar increase is big deal
especially for repaints

Re: NEW FOV 1/72 Panzer IV & 38(t) PICS
I bought a dozen of the FoV PzIV-Hs for $5/each about two years ago!
Even $12/each is a high price for them. But $20? Ridiculous!
