What happened to this FOV????

Laundry day?

I seem to remember that at some point Unimax decided modern armor didn't sell as well as they liked & so they stopped introducing post-WWII vehicles...bummer, I'd say

Sadly that's true. FOV was of the opinion adult collectors were not interested in modern armor. That's when they came out with the Bravo Team line for kids. I think it was a mistake. There are many modern tanks that I would love to have.

Agree 100%! The FOV 1:72 line had some great vehicles. I have quite a few myself. The reasonable price and level of detail were a great combination.

Yeah FOV says that you just can't have enuff Tigers,King Tigers,Porshe Tigers,Henshel Tigers,etc etc.If their beancounters don't want "Modern" AFV's(I'd go NUTS for a Merkava and a Leopard,but I degress) then at least do some WW2 French,Italian,Japanese items.Ya know WW2 wasn't just the US,Russia and Germany,LOL.

Yeah, that 1:32 M113 never got made. They did make a 1:32 M113 variant that had the TOW launchers mounted on it, but a standard version with the cargo racks (like their little 1:72 version) would have been cool.
