Complete list of FOV's Releases in 2012

[Wrights Collectables]

The 1:32 Panther/Wirbelwind 1:72 M-10/Wespe are slated for March/April in the UK.

Normally you guys (USA) get them a little earlier Heer.

Oh and after having a discussion with a customer, the Panther seems to be historically inaccurate.

I am not sure the 8th SS (Florian-Geyer) had Panthers and they certainly where not in Belgium in 1944 as FoV's pre-release documents are trying to tell me!

I notice the original link states an "Unknown unit", I wonder why the UK is being told wrong information?

I'm REALLY, REALLY excited to see that US WC54 ambulance in the works! That's a real eye catcher in a sea of OD vehicles and I can think of several display ideas for it. Plus the airplane guys might find it handy to go on an airfield scene with their wingy-thingies. Same for the canvas topped jeep - common in airfield pictures.

I agree that the camo on the M26 Pershing looks funky. I have seen quite a few photos of Pershings in Germany in 1945 and they were either basic OD or in the 12th Army Group camouflage of black pattern painting over OD base. Oh well, I can handle painting it if I have to.

Neat stuff, I'm looking forward to see some of it!

Somebody needs to tell them that the M10 has been done quite a bit by HM, but the M36 on the same hull is yet to be made, and would be a cool one!

>>> I can believe that , just from the looks of it. I was wondering the same thing. ... and so does the new camo'd Pershing. Doesn't look historically accurate to me. Korea perhaps but not for late war Germany. I'm still getting it though.

* I noticed that FoV did not include another Zündapp in their lineup this time around. Maybe next year , hopefully for eBaY's sake.

I do hope that FOV would release another zundapp hopefully an SS version, since FOV released a WH and WL version already.
