Small Scale Military Headquarters

Like the rest of you, I've been glued to the F-14D Tomcat news and speculation. In the meantime, I thought I'd let you know the latest I have found out on the FOV Tiger tank front. Unfortunately, not that promising.

Here's the email and response I got from a Unimax (FOV) rep:

Thanks for your email. But from our plan, the Tiger I will not be available
shortly.

Best regards,
Unimax

Hello!

Many military collectible enthusiasts are wondering when we can expect
to see the Tiger I in Target stores as we have the Abrams, Bradley and
Pattons. We like your products.

Thanks

Now, what they mean by "shortly" is open to interpretation, but it doesn't appear to be a month or two away. Maybe the Stryker first?

Your thoughts?

Major suckage.

I was excited for like 30 seconds......

Oh well!

What gives here? Every other mfg wants to sell millions of units but Unimax can't have made many of these things. They rarely show on ebay anymore. Did they breal the %#@@&+! mold or what?!?

do they want our money or not?

Apparently not

I don't understand it they have a product that MANY people want but we get an endless supply of Abrams, Bradleys, Shermans and a US Halftrack.............and no Tiger.

Wunderbar

didn't some one say they where retooling it?...like putting an extra set of road wheels on it?

I heard it needed a set of road wheels, but not that specific mod was actually being done.
