Y'all seen the FOV TV ad...

...running on the Military Channel? It shows a Sherman & later an Abrams (among other vehicles) --- being propelled with the assistance of a small human hand --- pay no attention to the man behind the curtain... :D Boomers will get nostalgic at the echoes of the old Marx toys & GI Joe TV spots...awesome!

I saw that on the HIstory Channel the other day and I was floored to see something like that out. Very cool.

Saw that add a few days ago - and had to laugh out loud! To me it was very wierd (if not disturbing, for my sake) to see tank models that I buy displayed as some sort of kids toy. Then again, thats what they are...

Its good to see FOV getting some air time, now how about 21c?

It might help clear the shelves a bit at WM. It's a good start.
If they want to do a commercial for XD they can film my daughter running through my back yard with her ME-109! (And me chasing her with my D-Day P-38.) :P
