Germantown Maryland Target had a nice selection of FOV WWII 1/72nd armor, aircraft, and figures, as well as some modern 1/32nd vehicles. I picked up a 1/72 King Tiger, Tiger I, and U.S. 7th Inf. squad. While the FOV tanks are not quite as nice as the Dragon 1/72nd line, I got all 3 items for under $20 including tax, which is not a not a bad deal, not bad at all.

Finally found 1:32 Russians at the Milford, DE WM. Not too bad looking...

Hey guys, saw this

Also saw the Amphibian vehicle for $10 bucks. That's FOV at 21C prices. Not bad.

Hey, thanks for the tip! With Google checkout I paid a total of $19.92. Thanks!

What scale is it? T-34?

tmanthegreat · Post by **tmanthegreat** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 8:56 am

The tank pictured on the TRU site is the S1 FOV T-34, which is in 1:32 scale. This is one of my favorite tanks of the line, and it comes with alot of accessories, a figure, and has opening hatches, plus an opening engine. The T-34 is currently only avaliable in the "Enthusiast" grade, which makes the listed price VERY decent

blurx7 · Post by **blurx7** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 2:22 pm

Just a follow-up. I received a subsequent email from TRU indicating my order was cancelled as the T-34 was now sold out. Shucks!

Picked up the FOV 1:72 Tiger and Tiger II at Target today. Nice looking tanks, even though I believe the Tiger II is missing the outer running wheels......

Hmmm... so the truck is now tan and the halftrack is now gray? Very cool. Do they come with the canvas top for the rear?

The 1/144 RN Hellcats/Fw-190As showed up in Tulsa today, along with more re-issues of the 1st 1/48 Bf109-G10.. Nothing else new other than that..

Found the 1/32 Stuart and the 1/32 North Atlantic Hurricane at the Peru, Illinois target store today. They also had the VMF-323 Corsair.

That is a typo - there is only the 1:72 North Atlantic version of the Hurricane; I can confirm that there is an FOV M-5 Stuart in 1:32, however

Yep, my error, the Hurricane is 1/72.

Found these in Michigan tonight. The tan truck comes with the top for the rear, while the gray halftrack does not. Just the reverse of the first round, so now we can mix and match I guess.

I saw the FOV 1/32 Lee and Grant Tanks at TRU today.. Not much else that I could see...

Went looking for the Tex Hill P-40. Didn't find it, but did see a Zero and a Me 109 that I hadn"t seen before. The Zero had V103 on the tail and the 109 was an Eastern Front Yellow 6 with a devil head on the front and overkilled weathering in my opinion.

I haven't seen those either!! Maybe 2 new repaints???

Found the new Zero at the Princeton, Illinois Walmart today. No winter Me 109 if they ship together.

Sorry in advance if this doesn't help...

I'm not much of a Ground Pounder, though I am considering starting on 1:32 modern armor (mainly for the upcoming Howitzers) and so I am not at all up to speed on the many different models here...

But I've been seeing quite a bit about folks wanting to know about the King Tiger, and when it is coming around. Well, I saw several 1:32 King Tigers today from the 21st Cold Steel line at one of my WalMarts. I was kinda confused because the way 21st has it strapped into the box with bands makes it look like one of the skirts has been omitted or busted...but all of them that I looked at were that way. Hope that helps!

Finally found the 32x German and US mortar sets at WM here. Not too bad looking. Also found the RN Hellcat/FW-190 pair as well.

Found the new P-40 and the new 1/144 armor at the Springfield, Illinois Walmart today. Still no winter 109.
