New line up from Forces of Valour... (1 Viewer)

[binder001]

The new gang at FoV seems to have big plans! New r/c stuff (ho hum to me) but also the are retooling and adding to the 1/32 armor/artillery line. See: https://www.facebook.com/fovhobbies...0014402834500/753099731525966/?type=3&theater

Being a hard-core US fan I like the idea of the M10 gun motor carriage, the M4A3E8 and the M4A3 105mm! Let's wish them well and hope we see these models.

Thanks for the update Gary, that's a lot of new sets being released. FOV got me back into collecting larger vehicles, then I found K & C which didn't cost much more than the FOV tanks back then...times have changed of course. Good to see FOV still in business, I still have a large collection of 1/72 scale sets.

Waltersons Press release-
"Forces of Valor" has been bought out by a Hong Kong hobby company, Waltersons Industry. We are now in the process of moving all the moulds from OEM vendors to the Waltersons manufacturing facility, the 1st round of production should begin in September. As you are aware, there are approximately 190 models in the FOV range, and we can only make the 20 most in demand models in the 1st production run. All packaging and user manuals will be completely brand new. We will try our best to enhance the painting if there were things that were not done right in the past. For certain models we will make new tooling, for example with the 1:32 scale Tiger I tank, the road wheels were slightly off scale. In 2017, we will announce new 1:32 scale tanks and 1:700 scale aircraft carriers.

As the new owners of the Forces of Valor brand we have decided to make some changes to the way in which we present the brand to the public. Because we will likely reintroduce some of the older items in updated packaging or with different accessories and features, we will be distinguishing old inventory from new with some minor SKU modifications to lessen confusion yet extend the brand. Any of the products remaining in inventory that were offered by Unimax, the original makers of the line, will have a product code that begins with UNI. Any new items being offered by the new manufacturer, Waltersons (Walter & Sons), will sport a FOV product identifier. So, a Unimax-built 1:32 scale Tiger I tank will carry the code UNI80003, while a similar Waltersons release will be identified as FOV80003."

If those are the prices, then it is a bit of a disappointment. Unfortunately, 1/35 scale plastic model kits are also expensive as many are priced between $50-60 USD.

IN my seller on Spain...about 45 € 1:32 scale, 1:72 about 20/30 € and 1:48 Scale, 45€.
I usually buy many on Ebay, but since they stopped making them, they went up in price.
