Hi
Any of you can post a size comparison picture showing both FL and KnC models? Thank you so much.
 
Just got today this nice tank and I had to pictured it along another PzIV from FoV to realized how similiar they are in size (not in price 300 vs 30) :salute::

I see the troll.is still around. For someone that does not like FL. Sure is spending time here. Why is that? ^&confuse

Don't get me wrong, I like FL very much, but THE FACT is that both vehicles have almost the same dimensions, so I was wondering if FoV was really a true 1/32 scaled AVF because we know for sure that Fl is true 1/30, that is all...sorry if that hurts you...
 
I like the look or the tank commander in the Panzer IV long barrel.

Well this is interesting....It maybe that FOV is closer to 1:30th??? who knows??? it's always hard to tell from a picture as the angle and lighting etc.etc.can be somewhat deceiving......That said I am always looking for less expensive AFV's and TS figures products that work well with First Legion both in quality and detail.....It's difficult because many other manufcaturer's products lack the superlative detail,paint and weathering that one gets with First Legion.....Figarti is the only company that seems to work very well with FL without having to do excessive customization and re-paints.....But...Thank you for posting other possible options.:smile2:...Best Frank

Any chance you could post some pictures of the FL & FOV Panzer side by side. A quick front on, side on, and directly overhead shot do wonders to show size.

Also measurements for each help for quick scale calculation.

Can't really tell from the pic since they are both angled, the pic is at an angle from above, and the FOV tank is farther forward in the foreground.

Personally I'd have absolutely no compunction buying FOV vehicles if they measired 1/30. The Tiger, Panzer IV Ausf H, and Jagdpanther I used to have were definitely 1/32 though.

Chemiebay,

Nice picture though. I really like the composition.

Whose base is that? The grass/dirt look very good.

How consistant is F.O.V. with scale and size, within its own line of vehicles? Michael

Not sure on newer stuff, but when I had them about six years ago they were all consistent 1/32 (King Tiger, Tiger, Jagdpanther, Panzer IV).

I'd really like to see measurements, as while they look close in a single pic, the FL still looks larger to me when looking at the length of the tracks/hull/wheel. Can't tell on height or width due to the angle of the pic.

And we're talking about very small differences in size.

The difference between a 1/30 Panzer IV and a 1/32 Panzer IV is 12mm in length, 6mm in width. 5.5 mm in height.

Personally I'd be ecstatic if there were "large" vehicles by FOV that measured very close to 1/30.

I agree, I am always grateful when folks post compare photos of different mfg. models, but we do need better end to end, side by side photos for a more honest assessment. Michael

I also do have a lot of FoV stuff, but only noted a close scale with panzers IV, thats why I decided to mixed them.

The answer is FOV PzIV is probably a 1/31 scaled vehicle, I repeat that all other models are 1/32, that is why it is so similar in size, the differences compared to FL PzIV are:

Length 9mm
Heigh 3mm
Width 4mm

So if you use FL figures in a diorama it will fit well with this FoV PZIV, anyway sure much better that KnC AFV with its own 1/28 scaled figures {sm4}

Well, I am not sure if I am happy or sad about this since I just sold my FoV Panzer IV for... $30. Were you the lucky eBay winner?
