Favorite FOV vehicle

Post by crossroads » Sun Oct 01, 2006 10:55 pm

What is your favorite FOV vehicle/figure combination?

My favorite is the new Sd Kfz 251 Hanomag with the German soldier helping a wounded comrade. When I first saw that picture in the catalog I thought it would make a great piece for a diorama.

US M3A1 halftrack

I enjoy the US halftrack personnel carrier. It's basically a correct model, plus it is convertible to other vehicles. One of FoVs better efforts. Second choice would be the Pershing.

Hmm... Although its not really a vehicle, I really like the 88mm gun. The fact taht it came with the full crew, the extra shells & accessories, and had working cranks made this one a real winner in my book. As far as vehicles are concerned, I like the first T-34, the T-72, and the Bradley. The smaller Jeeps, Kubels and Hummers are also well done :D

So far I like the German SD Kfz. 7/1 Half Track the best. Partly cause it's the newest one I have, and partly because I have not seen it done that often. That and it just freak'n looks good.

In just few short weeks (I hope) we should know what else is coming down the pipe for 2007.

I am very fond of that one too. I had the good fortune to have a friend send me one of these a while back, and they are outstanding in every respect, especially when you consider it only cost me about $20 or so. My second choice would probably be the Normandy Tiger from the "action series" which I picked up from my local Target store for $25, another excellent value for a superb piece. FOV just has too many great models to choose just one or two as "best", but it just goes to show you how far we have come in terms of quality and value in a pre-made model. The future looks very promising for collectors of FOV products, stay tuned.

I have the Normandy King Tiger, Tiger 1, Panzer IV (Eastern front Grey) Kanonwagen, Several Stugs, Several Matildas, the Monty Grant/Lee, T34/85 in green, a couple of Shermans, 2 Quad 50 half tracks, the grey Kubelwagen, US Jeep, the Grey Zundap Motorcycle, the US 105 Howitzer, and the Schwimwagen. I think that's all for FOV 1/32 right now, and I have to say my favorite of the bunch is the Panzer IV in grey. Something about that model I just love. I think the finish is great, the weathering is top notch, I love the gunner coming out the side hatch in the turret. The details are amazing, right down to the dented up fenders, rust, and mud splatter. I just love this tank. If I could only display one, this would be it. Second would be the Zundap I think. I would really love to see a DAK Bike in this size.

Favorite FOV

Hi,
I would imagine you can probably expect to see the Flak ans zundapp in the DAK scheme, not to mention a converted Sd. Kfz. 7/1 into a true Sd. Kfz 7. A Panzer IV wouldnt bee too much of a stretch either, considering that there havent been as many repaints done for them as yet.

For some reason, my favorite is the Pz IV G, in either the summer or winter pattern. Something very awe inspiring about the mainstay of the panzerwaffe and the way its been depicted thus far.
