I would really like to see some more DAK vehicles and US tank destroyers. Russian armor would be another subject too.

For starters, I will say that FOV has done an overall better job than 21c did in terms of making vehicles from other nationalities. With 21c we got US and German vehicles, with one British variation on a US tank. With FOV we have gotten the US and German vehicles, but also two Russian tanks and two British tanks.

I would like to see some more British armor (ie a Churchill or Cromwell), more Russian armor (ie T-34/76 or an SP gun), Italian armor and Japanese armor. A correctly done late model German Panzer III or a Panzer II would be cool as well :wink:

Of the items you listed the M8 Greyhound would top my list, primarily because no one has made one of these in this scale, or at least not one that is priced within budget of the average collector. One that you did not mention that I would love to see would be a Bren gun carrier, all sorts of possibilities for variants and repaints here... 8)

FOV doesn't want to hear from me. I want cold war and modern. The number of schemes, variants, and nationalities for some of these would seem to offer plenty of appeal worldwide.

M113
Leopard
Gepard
ZSU-23
T-55\
T-62 >(and Chinese copies thereof)
T-72/



Some pieces would seem to be great ideas based on the number of variants that could be offered. Imagine how many truck beds could be offered for some of these:

M35
M939
Ural trucks
Unimogs

I could go on, but I won't. We'll never get to see any of them. All we'll see is another paint scheme on a Sherman, or a Tiger, or a Panther.

Yay.

Since Unimax is already on a roll in making WWII Russian vehicles, I did like to see them make a JS-2, and scale up their 1:72 SU-122 in to 1:32 scale.
For the British side, their 1:72 Churchill would also be a good addition to be scaled up into 1:32.
Other than British WWII, a Centurion for Cold War era, and a FV510 Warrior to serve alongside with the already made Challenger II, just like the Bradley is to the Abrams.
For German vehicles, a Hummel, and a Leopard 2 so that there can be modern German tanks for once.
That's all I can think of at the moment.

Since FOV made a couple 1:32 Aircraft, and though they both either had bad paint apps or some detail issues, I think they should try releasing a few well known aircraft in the 1:32 line with some well known paint schemes to test the waters with no competition out there except from maybe BBI.
Re-release their Spitfire and P-39 Airacobra in plastic instead of the diecast metal. Maybe a few P-51D's. Put them in the boxes they used for the Mustang and BF-109G (straighten them out so they are sitting in there level and not at an angle)

They need someone to watch the paint quality control though. Maybe file down or fill up a little the battleship rivets on a few of the toolings.

Make some new sculpts of:

P-40E (Aleutians or Flying Tiger)
F6F Hellcat

The possibilities are there if they just run with the ball and learn from 21st's successes and failures of it's 1:32 aircraft line.

Yeah Mitch, but you're talking about a kit right..?? I was thinking in terms of pre-assembled/painted models, and the only M8 I'm aware of is possibly one from K&C which would run in the neighborhood of about $100, at least... :shock:

FOV is going to release a German truck, the Opel. You're not going to see FOV modern stuff in 1/32. Bravo Team may release some modern armor... I learned this from the FOV rep when I attended the recent Hobby Show at Chicago.

I really like the FOV 32nd scale P-39 Airacobra, it is a great looking model. I wish they would release this model in a Russian paint scheme.
Fred, really looking forward to the JSI 1/18th scale Grumman F-14 Tomcat.

Opel? too bad, I though 21st did a good job on that, would've prefered some new stuff.

I've said it before: More Russian things are needed. Halftracks and tanks please!

When I spoke to the rep I told him I liked the Soviet tanks and I suggested something different like French or Italian armor....

some ideas...

Post by binder001 » Thu Nov 12, 2009 7:16 am

My suggestions;

M10 tank destroyer - long overdue and never done in 1/32. I like the M36 90mm GMC but the M10 offers many more repaint possibilities - several colors on US, plus British, French and even Russian.

US 3/4 ton truck (Dodge WC51 or 52) - nice, small, reasonably priced, used by all services. Need several for your convoy scene or airfields.

British Bren Carrier - used all over the place

LVT "Amtrac" - big son-of-a-gun, hardest part would be getting the tracks right

US M4 High Speed Tractor - something to pull the 21C 155 and 8-inch.

Figures:
GIs in overcoats
US stretcher team

Skip the airplanes, stick to tanks and trucks!

Where to start....M10 TD would be nice, KV-2, T34/76, Char B1 bis, Cromwell, Sherman Firefly, Panzer III, Crusader, JS-2 and the list goes on...anything new really. For repaints I would really like a BEF Matilda. As for planes i am aching for a 1:32 BOB messerschmitt Bf-110, that would be tops. My 2cents.

That's not entirely true.... While FOV or 21st never did one, K&C did, but bringing one home will set you back a pretty penny, probably around $125 minimum. :shock:

Ah K&C, for those with too much disposable income (or no desire to eat)

Anyhow, My picks would be for:

a. US Tank Destroyers
b. Recovery Vehicles
c. Armored Cars

Really, how can you go wrong with armored cars? Germans and British had some great ones. Russia had some good BA series ones. I myself love the US M-8 and M-20.
