Re: Nuremberg Toy Fair FOVs

Here's a picture of the FOV P-40 from the UK forum. Looks interesting.

Is that 1:72? (With the pilot detail, it looks to me like it might be 1:32.) It also is marked in a different AVG squadron than the pre-pro pic at Diecast Direct. Also pic at diecast direct is missing the squadron markings ans the Chinese wing insignia. I hope FoV does the Chinese wing insignia vs, not doing it - i.e. Corgi 1:72 Legends AVG and 21st 1:32 AVG P-40's. (21st did come with Chinese decals that the buyer could apply.)

Anyone have anything definitive on chinese factories not being allowed to produce anything with a Chinese Nationalist markings? I've heard somewhere that that was/is an issue - not sure the truth of it. (note - Flying Mule commisioned 1:72 Tex Hill did have Chinese Nationalist insignia.)
