New Forces of Valor 1:72 tanks

Post by Tshintl » Sat Aug 12, 2006 12:57 pm

The 1:72 Forces of Valor 2006 releases are finally available in the US and I just got mine in the mail.

The 1:72 US halftrack is excellent to say the least. I plan on buying at least another 6 and converting each slightly to give them a unique look. The Russian tanks are very nice as well and the tank crewman are an improvement over last years tank crews. Now I'm just waiting on the German halftrack with rockets to arrive in the US.

Excellent job Forces of Valor!

Cool.

I figured they were close to showing up.

Although, my interest in them dropped when the M113s came out from MRC...

I'll still probably pick up one or two...

Sad news on FOV WW2 S2 1/72nd vehicles. I got an email from Lisa at panache place stating that they retired the S2 vehicles and she didnt know when more would be out. :(

Has anyone gotten the Grant yet? I should get it Wednesday. I hope it is as nice as the picture. I also have the half-track with rockets on order.

Does anyone know if Target is going to carry the new 1/72 FOV vehicles? My stores recently got a bunch of the 1/72 figs and I was hoping they'd follow-up with the Grant, halftrack and others.

I've got mine a couple of weeks ago, it looks great and makes a nice set with the Shermans.
Bought also de T34/85 and M113, both are little masterpieces, unfortunately I was too late for the SU-122, someone else bought it a few hours before me. :cry:

Those of you in the US, where exactly did you get the new tanks?
