21st v. FOV Opel
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.

Re: 21st v. FOV Opel
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.

I've already got multiples of the excellent 21c Opel Blitz, but that open-topped FOV one with the soldiers looks great and I'll likely get itHeer wrote:
