Is it really like that? If you mean on a real King Tiger then the answer is no... probably not, unless it has been damaged or something. Any significant amount of slop like that on a real tank cannon would likely result in poor and/or inconsistent accuracy, and the 88mm gun on the KT was renowned f...

FOV german king tiger qustion

Hi, i recently bought a FOV german king tiger tank. I noticed that the gun barrel is a little loose from the turret. I could move it up and down but there still that "looseness" in the barrel. Is it really like that?

Re: Bent gun problem ?

some old fov finds

I was going around the mall yesterday when i chanced upon a store that displayed two fov items. I thought i was dreaming since the store looked more like a shop that sells airsoft supplies. I immediately checked the 2 fov items and found out that they were a StuG III Ausf G (81306) and a Matilda. (t...

I bought this tiger 1 before and noticed that the machinegun in the hull was bent a little. I would assume that part to be made of rubber (or is it plastic?) How do i correct this d...

I usually buy from the Hobby People stores. Great friendly employees and services there. To look for a location in your area that carry the Enthusiast Editions of FOV, go to the FOV website , click on the picture with the Canadian and U.S. flag and it will pop-up a page for you to search for store ...

where do you buy your FOV stuff aside from online sellers?

What shops sell FOV? i tried to look for these in toy shops but all i found was the "action" and not the enthusiast version of it.
