I agree that you can't accurately assess a models scale purely on the size of the figure(s) that come with it. But don't forget that some of the FOV 1/72 model tanks do appear smaller than some Dragon and Matchbox versions. If anyone has some old completed 1/76 scale tank kits I would be interested ...

The FOV Grant is clearly smaller than the Dragon M4's. If you can't see this obvious difference, especially when the tanks are inverted, I suspect I'm wasting my time discussing the other differences with you. I suppose you really just don't want to discuss just how wrong your statement about FOV m...

I said the FOV Germans are 1/35 scale, NOT their tanks etc. And before someone says their German soldiers appear to be 1/32 I will clarify that I'm refering only to the Panzer crew members that I have, which are all from the initial release. The Russian Commander in the original T-34/85 is also 1/35...

In the pic where the tanks are face to face to you see that the Grant model is narrower. Yet in the actual vehicles the Grant is actually a bit wider than a Sherman. Clearly the model Grant could only be narrower than a Sherman model if the scale was slightly different. Don't get me wrong guys, I ha...

I'd have to disagree on that last point about armor being the most important of the triad. The quest has always been to balance the three, armor, firepower and manouverability. This is personified in the US armor patch. Most american tank designs were based on a balanced approach. In the WWII era, ...

Meanwhile back at FOV HQ :roll: I'm looking forward to the General Lee and Mark IV diecast tanks. I just hope they will be in TRUE 1/72 scale as most of the "1/72" FOV tanks to date have been closer to 1/76 being smaller than the Dragon version(s). That's not true about FOV being anything less than...

Jason, another great tank. I was wondering if you guys have considered making some tank transporters in 1/72 scale based on WWII and perhaps modern trucks and trailers. The Ixo/Altaya German WWII version has proved popular and I feel there is a good opportunity for Admiral to expand that market segm...

O.K. guys. Let me clear something up, that has been said, but overlooked again and again. I DID NOT MENTION THE VENDOR'S NAME! NO ONE SENT ME A PRIVATE MESSAGE ASKING WHO THE VENDOR WAS. The only person I told that the vendor was The Motor Pool, was a guy on The Model Hangar who had the same proble...

Re: missed opportunity
OZ.... Hey. PWade/Philip never mentioned Marc or the MotorPool in his original posts. He only mentioned Marc (on the other forum) when he noted that the situation was handled to his satisfaction. Personally I think it is as much the retailer's responsibility to not send broken/faulty merchandise as...

BEFORE we all get to carried away can Oz try and get some perspective into this whole scenario (I'll post my thoughts on this matter on this and The Model Hanger Forum where I am known as Ozcolmod). * I feel all concerned have got to carried away here trying to defend their own businesses and or for...
