Thumbs up Re: FOV & Target

Stalag,
Hey there.

You are seeing first hand the leap forward that FOV has made this year. The Hurricane is a mould from last year, (or the year before?) and part of their inital line. It's okay, but really sloppy as you noted.

The Zero is from this years batch and it's really pretty. Keep looking and you might come across the Pearl Harbor P-40 which is, in my humble opinion, the best of the bunch.

I returned the white Hurricane to the local Target today and was amazed to see that in a three day time span the number of FOV's left on display was down to two from ten: one Hurricane (95029) and the Me-262 (95033). The Me-262 box had a broken hanger and was probably missed because it was at the bottom of the display. Lucky for me. That is one nice model, maybe even an outstanding example of what 1:72 issues should look like. So, between the Zero, the VMF 323 Corsair and Me-262 I'd say that FOV certainly has some winners in its hanger. I can hardly wait for the B-26.
