I'm hoping this is not a misunderstanding: buried in the comments section (about the 1/32 Flak Gun release) on the Forces of Valor FaceBook page is this cryptic exchange:
(reader asks): no more 1/18 scale product ?
FOV: There will be in the 2020 schedule, if I recall correct, there is a 1/18 aircraft this year.
There's been no prior mention of anything either new or as a re-release in 1/18 on their FB page, so this is out of the blue. The relaunch of their smaller scale items has been a s-l-o-w process, I want to believe this will happen, wonder if I'll live long enough....!
1/18 FOV aircraft...should we get our hopes up...?

Re: 1/18 FOV aircraft...should we get our hopes up...?
c44, I think we can only wait and see on this one... Unimax, the company that previously owned the FOV line, did the 1/18 Bravo Team figures and vehicles initially as a Target Stores exclusive and then eventually with the small retailers (only the WWII figures and vehicles) after Target stopped carrying the line. As you noted, there hasn’t been a word since the new ownership took over about any scales other than the 1/700 ships, 1/72 aircraft, and 1/32 armor. It would be neat to get some new FOV 1/18 items (or even just rereleases) but I’m not holding my breath.

Im hoping they bring back the 1/16 extreme metal.

I'd be happy with some more 1:18 armor, Panzer III, Sturmgeschütz III...I like tanks
Planes would be cool too.

I seem to remember that they were going to start out slow. Well, that they have done and are still doing. I hope that they will resume where the past ownership left off in regards to 1/18. I hope to live long enough to see it.
