Small Scale Military Headquarters

Im interested in the Norman and Crusader knights. Are they large like the Roman and can they be mounted on a horse? Also how durable are they? I have a bunch of 90mm Schleich knights and wonder how they might size up with them?

The biggest concern for me about the KV-1 is, metal or plastic? I must have the metal!

Seen em at TRu. Definately super looking figs. Almost bought all 3 of the marines. Think I'll wait until I see where this line goes. Too bad you can't find any armor in this scale. The figures also articulate at the shoulders and head somewhat. Now if they would only do ACW or ARW in this scale I'd ...

Oh yeah, about how much metal.
Gun, everything above the hull line is metal. Everything else is plastic.

But thats true of all FOV models always. Gun, turret and upper hull in metal, the rest in plastic.

Is this whats happening to the latest FOV releases? Plastic? The P39Q cobra is all metal but the Elefant is plastic?? Maybe only certain models. I know the FOV 88 is almost all plastic and had too many delicate breakable plastic pieces which is why I didn't buy it. I wargame with my models so they a...

Found the same website a few months back and I also thought I hit a jackpot but the site turned out to be a pipe dream. No response from them so I blew them off.

Yes I must admit I have been very tempted myself each time I walk into target and see the 1/18 FOV WW2 guys. I treat 1/18 scale as a passing fancy, sorta like seeing a pretty face in the mall, you want to instantly jump on it/her.

Anybody know when the AoA release date is? If the figures are as nice as they look I am going to definately build some armies.

Does the P39 also have metal wings like the ME109? I have the action grade P51 and Spitfire and the wings are in plastic. Just wondering.

[quote="Light.Inf.Scout"]Yeah - if you can get a new one for 40 bucks - let me know![/quote] I'll do one better, I found this website www.toysnswords.com They list the Pershing listed at $29.99. They also claim free shipping on all FOV. I have never bought from this guy before but it looks like a gr...

I have seen several Pershing tanks at local hobby shops for around $40. In fact every Hobbypeople store I visit has at least one Pershing. I was going to pick up another one but will wait next month for the West coaster toy soldier show. Plenty of FOV dealers attand trying to unload their stuff. Las...

I spotted a king Tiger, Stug 3 and Tiger at TRU. Don't ever recall seeing any tigers there before. Now if it was the T34 or Panther I would have scoffed them right up.

"I avoid the online d(st)ealers for the most part unless they're running a special or have shipping rates that I just can't pass up. I mostly deal with a couple of Ebayers who's prices are very fair." I quite agree.... I buy at conventions. Specifically the West Coaster here in Cal. Sometimes you ge...

Agreed well done aferguson,
I should hope your message equally applies to online venders as well, especially vendors that use open forums to promote their business.

In the future are we not to share our experiences buying online?
Just wondering.

-P-39Q Air Cobra (yes that's 1/32!)

I just realized this is a WW2 plane. Never heard of it before. Even better, 1/2 of all built saw servive on the eastern front. Now I'm not so depressed. Please correct me if I'm mistaken.

Please say is isn't so. I've been waiting for more WW2 32nd stuff especially eastern front, maybe another aircraft, anything!!. I hope FOV is not planning on abandoning the 32nd arena.

So sad.......Think I'll drink myself into oblivion.

[quote="GIToys"]but with the exception of the main hull, everything is plastic--even the tracks! [/quote]

Is the turret and gun metal?

Saw one here in So. Cal last night and almost picked it up but I have more 32nd FOV German armor than I could ever cram on the table. Have also seen FOV Tiger tanks more frequently at Target stores. All are the "action grade" but look every bit as good as the collector version. I actually perfer the...

"The gun itself seems rather fragile; part of the barrel, front plate, and arms are metal, the rest plastic."


When you say "arms" do you mean the trails are metal?

My guess is FOV will have no problem selling the 88 at whatever price they go for. I've spoken to a couple of dealers and they said the FOV German 88 was the most popular back ordered item. I would like to see one first before I fork out the cash. If its going to be mostly all plastic then I might a...

I own the FOV Spit and P51 toy editions and the ME109 collector edition. They all are superb models. The ME109 is ALL diecast where the toy/action models have mostly plastic in the wings (some of the rudders are metal) but the fusliage is all metal. IMO compared to a Corgi, the FOV models are every ...

don't forget www.diecastdirect.com they have the lowest overall prices.

I never considered 21C figures because I thought they were made of breakable styrene plastic like the vehicles as I do a lot of wargaming, reguiring lots of handleing. Thats why I perfer the toy grade of FOV vs. the collector grade. However, after reading jrs's comments I might look into them. I cur...

I noticed FOV has really cut back on the metal and added more plastic from the wave 1 to wave 2 vehicles. My German halftrack is sooo flimsy, pieces were breaking off just getting it out of the box and testing the movable parts. It weighs about 1/3 the weight of my M16 halftrack. This is my 3rd 2nd ...

The sales clerk in TRU told me the FOV T34 will be on the shelves in a couple weeks at about 24.99. Did anybody also here this of is this? If so I may wait before paying 41.99.
