Hi All,
Just got the new 2006 brochure from Unimax. Besides the vehicles I've already discussed, I noticed they have a new 1:72 Micro Military assortment included in the brochure. Here's the skinny on some of the new 1:72 scale vehicles you can expect:

UK M3 Grant medium tank
German Sd. Kfz. 251 halftrack with side-mounted rocket launchers
German Mobelwagen AA Gun
Russian Su-122 self-propelled gun
US M3A1 halftrack
US M113 APC

New aircraft include the following:
USM F-14A Tomcat
RAF Tornado GR.1 fighter-bomber

As far as the 1:16 scale figures go, here's the soldiers being portrayed:

Joachim Peiper (panzer commander)
Helmut Rossel (Fallschirmjager)
Friedrich Steinhauer (Fallschirmjager)
Gerhardt Bergmann (panzer commander)
These look like the same figures included with the new King Tiger so I can only assume now that these can be purchased separately.

Will pass along more info once we get it...

Wow, hats off to FOV for sending us something different! I can't wait to check out the Grant, halftracks, Su-122 and Mobelwagen! Lighting, was there any new figure packs listed?

Hi,
There was nothing in the way of new 1:72 scale figure packs but dont be surprised if they announce a bunch in February at Toy Fair.

I'm really looking forward to the German & especially the US halftrack.

Hi,
We've posted preliminary pix and descriptions of each new vehicle on our web site under the Micro Military brand. Better images should be forthcoming shortly...

Thanks for the good news, Lightning2000

Meskary,
Yes, but I've already listed them on the other FOV 2006 thread I started several days ago.
