21st v. FOV Opel

Post by ketelone » Wed Mar 14, 2012 3:23 pm

Can someone please post pictures of both vehicles side by side? I have read much about the FOV version: it's apparently bigger, etc. Currently I only have the 21st Century vehicle. I'm still torn about purchasing the FOV because of the price and due to the fact I have a significant amount of the 21st. Furthermore, when considering the majority of transporting of men and materials was by horses and wagons.....

All I know is that the FOV is MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE than the FOV counterpart. FOV is re-releasing one of their trucks this years as well. It also includes soldiers.

I hate to break it to you, but the 21st Cent. version is closer to 1:35 and the FOV. version is more of a true 1:32.
Because of this, I have always been suspicious of 21st Cent. last big wave of stuff. I always felt it was a little undersized, but with nothing to compare them to.
The HERTZER, both MARUIDERS and The Panzer 38. Slightly small, but it's OK.
