To further add to the thread, I got the new FOV 1:72 Spitfire and Apache Longbow helicopter. Both are winners in my book! The Spitfire has a great paint scheme, opening engine, and all the little accessories. It compares very well with the Hobbymaster, Corgi, and Dragon offerings. The Apache is very much like the 1:48 Longbow, just downscaled. Crisp details, great paintscheme, and moving features, including an opening engine. FOV still seems to be very much in the small-scale game

They need to do a cromwell and a firefly.
Agreed. And I would also like a Cromwell.

What's wrong with the Hobby Master Cromwell, or the Dragon Armor Firefly? Both are about as nice as you can get in 1/72 scale.

I agree. The Hobby Master Cromwell/Centaur is excellent, as is the Dragon Armor Firefly.

Hobby Master has released several great schemes:

There have been two regular Dragon Armor Firefly releases, with one having just been released.

I don't include the three captured Fireflies because they're just silly.

I'm definitely gonna get the enthusiast version of the Panzer IV since the painting on that one looks really nice . But if you want some really good looking Panzer IV tanks you should get some of the 1:32 versions because they look amazing (I got the ausf.F grey and Ausf.G winter )

oh... I am disappointed a little by this model of panzer IV….
if you look at the photographs of presentation : http://www.forcesofvalor.com/product.aspx?pid=280

The quality is not here,! look the detail, painting, the camouflage… the missed mud...

The one in your link is the Enthusiast version. The pics Tman posted are the action grade version. I have an Enthusiast model on the way, it should be here next week and I'll post some pics then.

Enthusiast grade 1/72 Panzer IV here.....
