Has anyone seen these in person? There have been rumor that they have started to show up at some Target stores. I checked the three Targets near where I live in Atlanta, but no new tanks. I am looking forward to the SU-122 and Grant/Lee.

I'm not sure if they're even released yet. I was told they were and there seems to be a few people in the US on Ebay selling them as "in stock" compared to a "preorder".
My local hobby store knew nothing about them when I went in the other day.

They are supposed to be out at the end of July.

I checked Targets in Grapevine, TX on Monday and North Little Rock, AR today.
Nothing new either place. They did have a re-stock of Bradleys in NLR.

Yeah - Bradleys in a woodland cammo scheme. They've been out in my AO at one time or another for quite some time.

Actually, I was referring to the 1/72 FOV Bradleys in the desert scheme (since this thread was about 1/72 new releases).

Does this count as a FOV 1/72 sighting? Someone in the UK has the FOV Micro vehicles on eBay, but the pix are kinda small!

Well I have all 3 of those listed above and I love them all.
In my opinion they complement the dragon vehicles superbly in fact I have my 2 Dragon T34 variants alongside the 2 new FOV russians and they could all be from the same range quite happily.
The FOV vehicles are metal and that gives some good and some bad , some of the detail isnt as crisp etc.
But put simply if im asked to say which I prefer the FOV wins.
I also got the FOV 1/32 88
not cheap at £37
and Dragon Jagdpanzer 1v L/70 60232.
The FOV 172s where 8.99 , the L/70 10.99 and they had the stugs with side skirts at a whopping 12.99.
The FOV 1/72s are definately much better value at 30% odd less.

Where did you purchase your new 1/72 FOVs? The Modelzone here in London has the 1/32 88mm and some of the new repaints but none of the new 1/72s.

Modelzone Newcastle.
Just to reiterate the su122 is imo the best 1/72 diecast yet absolutely my favourite

Just wondering if anyone has seen the 1/72 Grant/Lee. I would really like to see a picture of the actual model.
Thanks,

MZ in Central Londn finally got around to opening their latest deliveries yesterday and I picked up the T34/85, Su 122, M3 1/2 track and the M113 - they are indeed great litle models.
