* FoV 1:32 T-34/85

Post by MG-42 » Sat Aug 20, 2011 7:24 am

* Since there's an increase in value on these on eBaY , I think it's time to bring it back into production again , just like they did w/ the Pershing. I know we all want assualt gun variants as well as the KV for instance , such as the KV-II Gigant but first things first. I want the "powers that be" , at FoV , to take a L@@K at this.


* Due to the goof-ballishness here on the forum , " No" is not an option for this Poll. :roll: :mrgreen:

I would really want the t-34/76, but since i have two 85s, i would push for some of the cool assault guns/tank destroyers.

I always collected german armour in terms of 1/32 FOV. I just recieved my king tiger. :D How is the quality on the t-34, is it worth purchasing?

The T34 is absolutely worth buying in my opinion. We need more WWII Soviet armor.

They need to release the T-34 again. I can see Unimax hesitating because they released two schemes for it already, but there are a lot of different paint jobs they could give their T-34/85 tooling, let along different variants they could make using the same chasis (thinking a T-34/76 or one of the tank destoyers).

As for the question about whether the T-34 is worth buying - it most certainly is! The T-34, IMHO, is one of the best tanks in the FOV line. It has more detail than many of the more recent new toolings. You'll love the opening turret hatches, driver's hatch, engine hatches with fully rendered engine, detailed hand-holds, all the other moving parts, plus the heavy diecast construction. Both versions have great paint schemes with excellent weathering, lots of accessories, and the S2 version comes with two crew figures. I have the S1 "Subarov" version from 2004 and consider it is one of the gems of my 1:32 tank collection.

............... this is Ok people , because I predict HM will rule where FoV has "dragged their heels" & "shot themselves in the foot ". The 1:32 market is WIDE OPEN ! ! ! ... Somebody has got to take over , so why not HM.

Actually, that's not a bad idea. HM has obviously focused on 1:72 and 1:48 with the exception of their 1:32 Dauntless. Their small scale aircraft and armor are excellent and while I haven't gotten any of the 1:48 tanks yet, I've seen some of them up close in person in the box and they are excellent. Some of the Shermans, for example, came with crew figures, soldiers, and stowage. If they would up-scale that quality to 1:32, we would be in for a treat 8)

I would vote for an "all of the above" option but if i had to choose , a KV-II would be pretty nice to see.
