Forces of valor (1 Viewer)

[Lancashire Fusilier]

Forces of valor have been taken over by a firm that seem interested in taking the name back to its former glory. ...if I'm not mistaken the sculpture for wbritains made some figures for old northwest trading company that went with their vehicles....i have the panzer crew....excellent figures....this would be great i think for firm and collector.

W. Britains figures are 58 to 60mm as specified on their website. The change from 54mm to 60mm occured about 10 years ago per Ken Osen. The ONTC figures were 1/32. The FOV Armor is generally 1/32 and WB figures would be oversize. Some FOV armor is oversize; the Panzer IV is 1/30, the M26 is 1/30.6, The Jagdpanther and Jagdtiger are 1/31. The KV-1, Tiger I and Kingtiger are all approximatly 1/32. Each FOV tank would have to be measured individualy to determine size compatability. I have measured the ones that I have and I encourage other collectors of FOV armor to confrim their scale by measurement and publish the result; it would be of great benefit to collectors.

I have quite a few FOV armour models and they are great models and I am very pleased they will be coming back into production. Evidently the new owners will be increasing the level of detail on some of their models and evidently an M-10 is in the works (a vehicle the original firm never made). Obviously price will be a determining factor but hopefully more info will become available post Nuremburg Toy Fair. Certainly I think FOV vehicles look fine alongside Britains new German figures.

Measure your FOV armor and let us know which are close to 1/30 in scale. WB and FL figures are 60mm and a lot more armor is needed than FL , Figarti or TG have produced. Plus FOV would be very ecconomical and the detail, especially on the tracks and sprockets approach FL quality IMO.
