Just checked FOV's website, and I found out that they just updated their website with their 2011 releases!!

I only see the new 1/72 stuff.

I only see the new 1/72 stuff.

Is there any other scale?

[EnemyAce]

The 2.5 ton truck has the worst paint scheme of all time.

[PanzerArm]

Is there any other scale?

Cunha

Of course there is! The vastly superior 1/32 scale!!!

And I finally came across the pictures of the new 1/32 stuff, thanks to uksubs:

They look nice and would help round out soon to be my giant 80 vehicle dio. The 1/2 track isn't bad either, looks like Normandy colors. Will there be any other repaints?

[PanzerArm]

80 vehicle dio!!!

You have to show us some pictures! What is the subject?

And I believe that is going to be all the new 1/32 for this year, inclusive of repaints. Kind of sad, but maybe 1/32 just isn't bringing in the $ like it used to and Unimax just is't going to offer as much variety anymore.

Thank for posting the photos Kevin , I've been told in the UK FOV 1/32 armour is selling better now than it was before but they need to keep the new stuff coming out , some of the 1/72 king tiger repaints need to be done in 1/32 scale

[miggles]

The subject is going to tbe American advance after the landings in Normandy. i'm working on gathering buildings (got a few formtech and some other random ones). It will have a small town, some hedgerows I have 80 plus 1:32 FOV, and 21st century toys tanks, guns, figures etc. .Im afraid no pics as of yet( my tiny college apartment is no proper place for a warzone , its to small) but im looking at doing something like this but on a much larger scale,

Once again this is not mine but its a small scale of what i will have set up

so will there be other repaints?

Miggles, that is quite the standing army you have there! I am also quite impressed by your ability to keep track of everything as well. I can't remember the last time I had enough time/room to take everything out of their respective boxes and assess the size of my collection. I would definitely have to make sure the wife wasn't around

Personally I am relieved to see that the "! 1/2 ton" truck is the Dodge WC63 type. I was worried that it might have come out as the Chevy 1.5 tonner. These are seen a lot in old war movies and served in the CONUS, but few served overseas. The WC63 was used for light utility work, plus it was the primary towing vehicle for the 57mm AT gun in US Army infantry regiments as well as the M3 lightweight 105mm howitzer used by regimental cannon companies. Given the few new releases that we see, the WC 63 might also be kitbashed into the lighter and more common WC51/WC52 3/4 ton trucks. I hope these show up in a more timely fashion that most FoV releases. The Jerry halftrack has lots of possibilities also.

As MG states, this has me interested.
