FOV Wishlist (1 Viewer)

[Currahee Chris]

Ok fellas- we play this wishlist game over at KC, why not interject here??

Here would be some wishlist items from FOV for me in 1:32nd scale:

1.) HEMMTT- Not a glory vehicle by any means but a strong workhorse of the Army

2.) M1098 Hummer Ambulance- that would be really fun

3.) Leopard 2- Modern German Armor

4.) 900 series Us Army 5 ton transport vehicle

5.) DEUCES

6.) How about a Chaffee, Bulldog or another T-72- this Company would be a good one to launch some Cold War armor.

7.) Hercules tracked recovery vehicle

8.) Some WW1 Armor- why not??

9.) The Gamma Goat some of you out there can enjoy that one with me.

STANDS ALONE!!

Oh yeah- Good Lord how could I forget the

M113!!!

That would definately be tops on the list!!!!

For the chopper enthusiasts, we could use a 1:48th scale Huey as well.

Why go for 1:48th? Think big!
I could go a 1:32 Cobra, Blackhawk or Apache.
How about a 1:32 Dakota or Horsa?

Sure Simon, you are definately on point there. The 1:32nd choppers would be superb.

I am thinking about buying up as many of their vehicles as possible and setting up the MOTOR POOL OF MAYHEM

Gamma Goat.... a noisy vehicle! It would be nice to see one in 1/32
Duster
Chieftan
BMP and BMD BTR 60, 70 or 80 Soviet infantry vehicles
T-64, T-62 and PT-76 Soviet tanks
ZSU 23 or 57 Soviet AA

HIND helicopter in 1/32

I like the idea of WWI tanks and how about a PT boat and, a PBR. Also a series of nicely detailed ACW artillery pieces with limbers, caissons, forges, etc. in 1/32 scale

I'd be happy if they'll get off teir backsides and release the delayed but announced WW2 GMC 2 1/2 ton 6X6 truck!

Other items would be;

The M10 tank destroyer - found in all theaters and used by several nations.

M8 75mm howitzer motor carriage - found in mechanized cavalry outfits

A British Cromwell - common in Europe but not available in 1/32nd (I know I actually suggested a BRITISH tank instead of my all-American stuff!)

M3 Stuart - good for British forces in many areas, also for the US in Tunisia and the Marines on Guadalcanal.

M4A3E8 - we need a late version of the Sherman, not only for late war use, but as a parts donor for late M4A3 conversions. Plus it's suitable for Korea.

This will keep me happy if they are on the shelves by this December ;-)

Great choices fellas!! Love the HIND and the PT Boat.

I got to thinking on it- if any company was to do a navy set at 1:32nd scale, I think FOV or 21st would be the ones to do it. You wouldn't have to worry about the polystone costs. I am sure they would be well over $100 but still, looking at the producers out there, I think these guys are the solution to it.

The more I think of it, the more 1:32nd wouldn't work for navy ships- like Battleships, carriers, etc- you'd probably have to go 1:72nd or so. Not sure the exact dimensions.

Larry- if we got all your selections, we could put together a fantasy cold war scenario. that would be pretty cool for their wargame feature.

My Wish list would be for some more Russian armour or soft skinned vehicles.
And some japanese armour would be great.
Italian tanks
A french char B
Trucks trucks of any kind.

I forgot to add the Sheridan tank. I would like to see a lot of the cold war vehicles. Maybe do a Berlin crisis diorama.

I wish they would make tank crew sets.
