New FOV Pershing Tank

Post by NHoggard12 » Mon Sep 06, 2010 10:05 am

For those who have both the recent release of the 1/32 FOV m26 and the older release, how do they compare to each other?
FOV's newer tanks have lacked in quality of the older ones.

* * * They are identical except for the weathering compared to my older 1st. release. My newer one seems a bit darker w/ less weathering , especially in and around the lower hull , road wheels & chassis which I favor more.

That is what it looked like from the pictures, but I thought the lighting could be the factor.
I don't think I like the dark green, but the weathering looks nice

Well hell, this is my third attempt to post a reply so I won't type as much as before. But I got mine today and I'm very happy, much more detail than I have in any of my other 10 (all newer) FOVs.

The Pershing is a nicely detailed tank. Its tooling is from that 2004-2005 period when Unimax made some of their best models for the FOV line in terms of detail, functionality, and quality. The Pershing, Jagdpanther, T-34, T-72, Panzer IVs, Panther - which all came from around that time - rank as some of their best work 8)
