Small Scale Military Headquarters

Well i am concerned with the normndy repaint of the FOV German Sd. Kfz. 251/1 Hanomag. I wrote FOV a letter but never got a response so does anyone here know if the repaint comes with the troops included in the russian front one. The page for the normandy one says it includes just a driver but that seems ridiculus that they would take the soldiers out.To me it seems stupid not to include atleast some guys with the halftrack since it is designed to transport troops.

I do have one more question to post instead of making another thread. What troops are these in this picture?

I don't exactly know about the Hannomag's figures, but what I can say is that certain FOV vehicles, even when the same type, can come with variable amounts of figures. Most vehicles have one, but a select few come with two, for example the Panzer IV F (short barreled) and the new winterized T-34. The Normandy Hannomag probably only does come with one figure.

The troops used in the Build-a-Rama diorama may be K&C figures as they certainly are not 21c or FOV 1:32 scale figures.

The troops are King & Country,s latest U.S. figures for the Battle of the Bulge. K&C does the best figures on the market today and this particular BOB set is one of their best.

Is this the person you wrote the email to?
candy@unimax.co.hk if not, she is the one to write and I'm 99% sure you will get a reply. Candy is excellent at answering collectors questions.

Yeah i was going to write to the regular FOV thing on thier website but i changed it and wrote to her.

Mirage this is especially for you, it is an email Candy Dong sent me because she didn't think you received a reply from her. This should also show everyone that Candy and FOV are monitoring this and other forums as they really are concerned about the customer and their products.

"Hello Dave,
I need your help. I just visited the Small Scale HQ forum and found that "Mirage" was looking for answer on the forthcoming Hanomag 251/1. Actually I got an email without sender's name on July 11 with the same question, and I did reply him on July 12. I am wondering this person might be "Mirage". I don't know why he didn't receive my reply as I just pressed the return button. Anyway I have just resent my response to him.

Since I saw that you were communicating with him on this subject, may be you could help me to relay the following message to him, in case he cannot receive my mail again:

Please note that this repainted vehicle will come with 4 crew members........... but not the Russian Front version. We have specially sculpted 4 figures in Normandy uniforms with new poses for this vehicle, which look very attractive to me.

Please look for it when it is launched next month. Thanks for your support.

Sorry of bugging you, but I just don't want to disappoint any of our collectors. Thank you very much for your help.

Best regards,
Candy Dong"

Ah yes i did recieve one today so im guessing i must have accidnetly deleted the other one with all that spam but i could have sworn i looked through them all carefully . Sorry for the mess guys.(screwed it up on my first post )

But yes that is great news i cant wait to get my hands on it. Just what i have been waited for, a normandy version of the halftrack and more german troops.

Thank you FOV for being so dedicated to your collectors!!!
