My local dealer mentioned that the FoV US 6X6 2 1/2 ton truck is delayed again - to September. These guys are out to give me a stroke!

If you think the date change is bad, I am really afraid to find out what price will be on these new releases in a few more months.

I think FOV is going to price themselves out of the market, and this is probably why Target made the move to 21C. With only a few exceptions I don't think too many FOV offerings are worth what they are selling the Elefant pre-oreder for.

Actually, the FOV stuff is already in the US, headed for mass retail in that midwest/south area where ALL the new stuff goes

You just might be on to something there. If 21st would keep putting out armor as good as its Marders and Hetzers and more aircraft like the P-51D and Spitfire I would be a very happy collector. I could care less if the tank is made from plastic or metal as long as it is nicely detailed. I've always liked the Elefant but I'm not going to go broke buying FOV's version.

I would like to see 21st revisit the PZIII and IV and give them the same realism and detailing as their newer armor.

Why not get the Minichamps US 6X6 2 1/2 ton truck instead

Is the Minichamps truly 1:32 scale? In my experience they copy 1:35 models straight across and don't worry about scale. Some people don't care but I want a TRUE 1/32 CCKW. I have several 1:35 Tamiya kits waiting assembly (these are EXCELLENT models).

There is a CCKW website that lists various models and the GMC 2 1/2 tonner has never been done in 1/32 in all these years.
