No this is not one of those crazzy threads that we had a few days ago.
I think I am falling in love with the 1:16 FOV tanks in fact I think I am falling in love with Armor and the Tiger 1, it just looks cool

1:16 huh......
I guess we can help you? family intervention?
a hit of free XD?
I will say I like the 1:16 tanks too - im just going to stick with one thing in order to have some sort of savings and college money for the kids.
If I had the extra money though id probably have a few 1:16 tanks

I don’t have any armor yet in any scale I mad a deal a few days ago to get the king tiger that needs a lot of work at a reduced price and the tiger 1 on layaway but not at the same time
I plan on getting 1:18 armor to.

I started with armor, and have always loved the look of German armor. I have the die-cast Tiger I from 21st and somehow, the heft of it adds something special over the plastic editions--I can only imagine how this is with the FOV 1/16 pieces. I have to admit--they are getting harder and harder to resist, despite the price.
No shame in becoming an armor fan!

When I got my first , first issue FOV tiger . I had it sitting in the middel of the living room on top of it's crate. This caused more then one heated discussion with the wife. She won , it is out in the work shop. But I know I wanted more. So the cycle repeted itself.

Yup VMF, yer hooked...
You cant beat the price and quality of 21st Century XD Armor and 1:18 aircraft are incredible! (I started collecting aircraft just over a year ago and have run out of room to display all my planes), but 1:16 armor is as real as it gets. Due mainly to the support of the model community and aftermarket upgrade parts.
That being said, have you ever noticed how Dragon 1:18 figures are a bit smaller that 21st Century? I feel 21st Century are actually closer to 1:16 than many realize. I have the new FOV Michael Wittmann figure and a Panther XD figure side by side and they are the same size....makes you wonder. Can't we all get along?
Anyway, welcome to the dark side VMF. The price of admission sucks but the panzers rule.

thank you chunks and yoxford,
For helping me through this difficult situation, finding something new and something to look forward too. And by helping me keep my wits and sanity. I hope some time in the coming months to have both.
