Even More Forces of Valor Due For Release in August!

These are due in August, but I suspect late September is nearer to the truth.

Glad to see the Zundapp re-released, great model.

Another Tiger! :?

Why did they feel the need to "reintroduce" the ambulance? Its not like its all that old - certainly not as old as the Zundapp.


Yes, the folks who have been making bank on Zundapps on ebay won't like this very much.

Yes, this is what I was thinking. I will try and find out if there has been any changes to it, in terms of paint/detail.

Seems a bit odd as it is still readily available, at a far lower price! :D

Another tiger?? But the panzer IV looks interesting. THE ZUNDAPP IS A BIG surprise!! Good thing they released the grey version, so the tan version is not likely to lose to much of its value, yet....

But then there is the question of the paint job. Since the re-release normandy jagdpanther was a disaster, there is no saying how these "re-releases" will fair.

......... despite the paint job , there's no doubt the Zündapp will sell well.

Do you mean another Zundapp in fall or just more releases in general?

Mitch, glad to see you back :D, I figured they would re- release the Zundapp, after E-bay and other auctions sites were selling these at prices that were unreal.

I have to say back when these were the holy grail of collecting MG-42 was the the guy who let me on to where I could get one, from then on Mitch has been a great friend, hes one of the guys who keeps this hobby going 8)

I hope at least one is something new like the Krupp car.


I would poop my pants for a Wespe or Nashorn in 1/32.

I feel that FOV is now under new management!!! How about the t-72 and some winter vehicles!!!

I fear FOV is done with modern armor. A couple of years ago I spoke with an FOV representative and I was told FOV wasn't going to make any modern armor. The rep did say that the Bravo line would make modern vehicles. ( Sadly, there isn't much of the Bravo line left at any brick and mortar stores such as Target.) The rep said the modern vehicles did not sell well with the adult collectors. The rep said the kids liked the modern vehicles.

Personally I would love to see modern French, Chinese, Russian, Israeli and German armor. I'd also love to see WWII era French, Italian and Japanese vehicles.

Since I'm worried about the paint job, I will just wait for the new zundapp to flood the zundapp and then buy the earlier version for much less than the inflated prices now. Therefore, I will have FOV's earlier quality and paint job!!! :D

I've been using TheFlyingMule as of late since they are close to me, have cheap shipping, and fair prices, but a lot of places carry FOV besides them:

BadCatToys
FoxHoleToys
SmallJoes
3000Toys
Aikens Airplanes
TheMotorPool
etc.

Agree that a Nashorn would be great to see.
